What is
Citrix?
top
Citrix is the server-based computing system that
enables the use of thin-client technology. Using Citrix, you can access
applications without having them installed on your local hard drive. The
applications reside on a server and can be accessed once a user is given an
account.
Why Thin Client
Terminology?
top
Using Citrix, staff and students will potentially be
able to access their applications from anywhere. For example, staff or
faculty will be able to access courseware applications from their office
PC's. Students will be able to access the system from networked halls of
residence. All users will also be able to access the desktop from home
over the Internet.
