Features & benefits

Before implementing Citrix Application & desktop solutions, it was a struggle to

maintain educational software across computer labs and students’ laptops, and to

manage the day-to-day software and hardware changes. Additionally, the university

had a number of aging desktop machines in the Labs that could no longer adequately

handle the latest software. Furthermore, the demand for various college-related stu-

dent and faculty applications is increasing sharply.

With Citrix® XenApp™ technology, applications are being delivered virtually over the

UAEU campus to any device, consistently and efficiently. The UAEU community can

use heavy applications like Matlab, Minitab, Adobe Suite and many more without

having to install them on personal computers or to struggle with device compatibility

limitations.

• With Citrix licensing feature, multiple users are sharing the same appli-

cation simultaneously, without the hassle of managing individual user

licenses.

• Ease of access from any device, anywhere.

• With few clicks, Windows 10 available on IOS & Android

• Reduction in hardware costs and application licenses.

• Application delivery & desktop deployment provide strong data gover-

nance techniques.

• An easy-to-manage platform, with applications and desktops rolled out

across the campus very quickly.

• Highly efficient IT operations.
