Security — Users can securely access applications via the Web Users
need secure access to their applications regardless of their location or
device. With MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0, you can simply and securely
leverage the Internet to deploy business-critical applications to users
no matter where they are or what devices they are using. And you won’t
need a VPN solution or additional software. MetaFrame Presentation Server
3.0 uses industry-standard SSL and TLS encryption technologies to secure
all traffic between the client device and the MetaFrame Presentation Server
3.0. You have peace of mind because your application and data is safe.
Enterprise-class Scalability — MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0
provides a more scalable solution that functions better in large distributed
environments. That’s because it improves server-to-server communications
and eliminates many of the bottlenecks inherent in MetaFrame 1.8. Hence
MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 can scale up to 1,000 servers, supporting
as many as 100,000 users. MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 also provides
three editions to meet your specific business needs. From MetaFrame Presentation
Server, Standard Edition for small workgroups, to MetaFrame Presentation
Server, Advanced Edition for growing organizations and MetaFrame Presentation
Server Enterprise Edition for global enterprises, you can choose the solution
that’s right for your organization. And MetaFrame Presentation Server
3.0 allows you to add as many servers as you like without impacting overall
cost.
Increased Performance — Users are never satisfied with the performance
they receive. Faster is always better. Advancements in Citrix Thin Wire
and SpeedScreen technologies, improved latency and enhanced communication
over varying bandwidth connections have led to dramatic increases in printing
speeds, video transfers and file transfers. These improvements yield anywhere
from 15% to 400% increase in performance. And with each Feature Release
for MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0, performance gets even better!
Printing — Printing in a server-based computing environment is quite
a challenge, especially when dealing with diverse client printers. MetaFrame
Presentation Server 3.0 has added some key features that reduce or even
eliminate many of your common printing woes. Universal Printing consolidates
print driver requirements into one universal printer driver and eliminates
the need to install and manage multiple drivers. And to insure that print
servers are always up, MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 also includes
driver compatibility lists that allow administrators to specify which drivers
can and cannot be used. These are just a few of the features that MetaFrame
Presentation Server 3.0 offers to ease your printing challenges.
New features — add even more value to your Windows platform New
and enhanced features in MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 build on the
capabilities of MetaFrame XP to deliver greater manageability and scale,
increased performance, new security tools and a richer user experience.
MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 creates a more efficient organization
with increased user productivity and the flexibility to quickly adapt to
change with new features such as Microsoft® Active Directory® support
, Novell® NDS® support, delegated administration, content publishing,
smart card support, Internet Proxy support and many more.
A richer user experience — creates more productive users MetaFrame
Presentation Server 3.0 enhances user productivity, mobility and satisfaction
with new features that keep mobile users on the go and enhance collaboration
capabilities. Roaming users can easily switch between different devices
and pick up exactly where they left off. Switching from PC to laptop to
PDA is now easier than ever. And the new user collaboration feature allows
users in different locations to simultaneously view the same document and
jointly collaborate on content. Users can be productive from anywhere.
Single-point management — makes administration easier Manageability
is key to creating an efficient IT organization. That’s why Citrix
introduced the Management Console for MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0.
The Management Console consolidates all MetaFrame administration tools
into a single interface, giving IT administrators single-point command
and control over all system resources—licenses, servers, applications,
printers and users—for exceptional power and simplicity. MetaFrame
Presentation Server 3.0 also provides more robust management capabilities
by building on the core MetaFrame functionalities such as Load Balancing,
Installation Manager and Resource Manager and integrating them into the
Management Console. Administrators have all the tools they need at their
fingertips!
Flexible connection-based licensing model — MetaFrame Presentation
Server 3.0 employs a new “connection-based” licensing model
that bases cost on the number of users rather than the number of servers.
You now have the freedom to choose the optimum number of MetaFrame Presentation
Servers to deploy without impacting overall costs. And licenses are now
centrally stored and managed, so if a server goes off-line, licenses are
not lost and don’t need to be reinstalled or reactivated!
Freedom to choose your Windows platform and migration
path — Did
you know that MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0 runs on both Windows® 2000?
Yes, whether you’re using Windows NT or Windows 2000, you can receive
the benefits MetaFrame Presentation Server has to offer. And as you plan
your migration to Windows 2000, now is the perfect time to include migration
to MetaFrame Presentation Server in your plans. MetaFrame Presentation
Server offers several migration options that allow you to choose the path
that causes the least disruption of users.
MetaFrame Presentation Server prepares you for Microsoft
.NET — A common
misconception is that Microsoft .NET reduces the need for MetaFrame Presentation
Server. The truth is that .NET provides enormous opportunities for MetaFrame
Presentation Server.
