Introducing Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite

MetaFrame Access Suite powers the on-demand enterprise by giving workers, anywhere, at any time, using any device, over any connection, the ability to easily and securely access whatever resources they need without regard to the underlying computing complexity. The MetaFrame Access Suite offers integrated products that deliver:

•Device and network services

•Security and identity management services

•Aggregation and personalization services

•Presentation and conferencing services

•User provisioning/measurement and system management services

Previously, customers had to purchase these technologies separately and piece them together to build an architecture for enterprise access. In contrast, the MetaFrame Access Suite is a single, unified solution that provides secure, easy, instant access to managed enterprise resources, and simplifies the deployment and management of new applications in heterogeneous computing environments.

The following diagram illustrates the suite’s capabilities:
