uProgram Neighborhood. Program Neighborhood introduces a new metaphor for user application access that replaces Remote Application Manager for the Citrix ICA Win32 Client and delivers access to centrally deployed applications. With the introduction of Program Neighborhood, server-based applications can now be pushed to the Program Neighborhood client, integrated into the local 32-bit Windows desktop, or pushed directly to the client’s Start menu.

Similar in concept to Windows Network Neighborhood, Program Neighborhood provides total administrative control of applications by providing users with dynamic access to published applications. Not only do users have an enhanced server-based application experience, but also no client configuration is required. Program Neighborhood provides complete administrative control over application access and local desktop integration.

uSpeedScreen. SpeedScreen builds on the intelligent agent technology, introduced in MetaFrame 1.0, that reduces the transmission of frequently repainted screens. In comparison with MetaFrame 1.0, bandwidth consumption is reduced, on average, by 25-30% and total packets transmitted is cut by up to 60%, resulting in significant improvements in measured speed on restricted bandwidth connections.

SpeedScreen furthers the user experience with consistent performance regardless of network connection by reducing latency and improving the feel of the server-based application.

uInstallation Management Services (IMS) Ready. The Installation Management Services option gives Citrix administrators the ability to centrally manage software replication across Citrix server farms. You can run an application’s installation routine just once per platform, then deploy the application to each server in the farm automatically.

This innovative system services option for MetaFrame offers administrators an excellent alternative to manually installing and configuring the same application on multiple Citrix servers. Administrators can now more easily and cost-effectively deploy applications to thousands of users across the enterprise.

uVideo Ready. VideoFrame in conjunction with MetaFrame 1.8 enables the production and deployment of custom video applications to 32-bit Windows ICA Clients using an innovative intelligent compression and a streaming extension to the ICA protocol.

By integrating VideoFrame into a Citrix server farm, administrators can now deploy custom video applications to any 32-bit Windows

desktop, on demand, while maintaining consistent performance across any network connection, regardless of available bandwidth.
