uAny client device. Citrix MetaFrame extends the reach of Terminal Server to virtually any client device: 286, 386, 486, and Pentium computers; Windows- based terminals; Network Computers (NCs); wireless devices; ICA-based information appliances; RISC; PowerPC; and X-based devices (available through Citrix and OEM partners). All of this is done without rewriting a single line of code, changing client hardware, or adjusting client system configurations. MetaFrame also supports all types of Windows client platforms, including Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows CE, as well as non-Windows client platforms including DOS, UNIX, Linux, OS/2 Warp, Macintosh, and Java.
uAny network connection. Citrix MetaFrame connects users to the network through standard telephone lines, WAN links (T1, T3, 56Kb, X.25), broadband connections (ISDN, Frame Relay, ATM), wireless and CDPD connections, and the Internet. The unique bandwidth-conserving nature of Citrix’s ICA protocol makes it the ideal solution for any network type, whether Dial-up, LAN, WAN, Internet/Intranet, or even wireless networks. ICA performance is fast and consistent, regardless of network infrastructure.
uAny network protocol. The enterprise today consists of not only heterogeneous client devices but also heterogeneous networks. MetaFrame supports all popular LAN and WAN protocols, including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, SLIP/PPP, and asynchronous connections. MetaFrame is ideal for enterprises that need to extend bandwidth-hungry applications to users everywhere—regardless of connection type or available bandwidth—because
the Citrix ICA protocol is optimized for connection speeds as low as 14.4Kbps (although 28.8Kbps is the recommended minimum speed).
uAny application. Users can access the full range of business and personal productivity applications including the latest Windows-based applications, client/server, mainframe, and even Java applications from a universal client, regardless of available horsepower or operating system.
