The Capabilities behind 4.0

Access Infrastructure as a Core Business System
Business runs on information. Yet getting the right information securely, easily and instantly to everyone who needs it, when they need it, is difficult. And it’s becoming more difficult as more and more people are conducting business remotely—unpredictably moving from location to location, using multiple access devices, and connecting with a wide range of heterogeneous applications over wired, wireless and Web networks.

This fundamental need explains why Citrix access infrastructure has become a core business system that drives competitive advantage. Access infrastructure addresses one of the basic technical challenges businesses face today: the need to provide secure access to private information over both trusted and untrusted networks. It does this by connecting devices, networks and applications into a system that is secure by design, that consolidates applications into a central location for more efficient management and effective control, and that provides secure, easy and instant access to any information source, for any authorized user, from anywhere, using any connection.

As a result, Citrix can transform any organization into an on-demand enterprise. This means that, for a single investment in access infrastructure, businesses get two key benefits: improved operational efficiency that reduces the cost of running the business, and accelerated agility that enables the business to capitalize on more opportunities for growing the business.

Only Citrix access infrastructure can deliver all of these capabilities to businesses.

Capabilities for Reducing Costs and Increasing Agility
Citrix access infrastructure is the most complete set of solutions for leveraging the ubiquitous connectivity provided by today’s networks into unlimited secure access to applications and information, both voice and data. Citrix products and services, when used together as an integrated access-infrastructure system, provide a set of capabilities that meet the access needs of users on the demand side of the information supply chain, as well as of IT administrators on the supply side.

Users want access to be invisible. They just want the technology to work—to get them to the information they need, when they need it, from wherever they are, using whatever devices and networks they want. Citrix access infrastructure mobilizes people, information and business with this set of capabilities that are of primary benefit to the user:

• Smart Access
• Smooth Roaming
• Instant Collaboration
• On-Demand Assistance

IT Administrators want access to be visible. They’re responsible for keeping information—the fuel on which the business runs—flowing, so they need to be able to monitor, measure, manage, control and optimize the use of IT resources. Citrix access infrastructure optimizes the efficiency of IT with this set of capabilities that enable IT administrators to reduce costs and increase agility:

• Robust and Resilient Foundation
• Secure by Design
• Integrated Identity Management
