and Similar Server Farm Software Virtualization Platforms
Part of an Integrated Family of ShopFloorManagerTM EventAwareTM Modules
Supports Windows 10TM & Windows 8TM including Support for Windows' Server 2008/2010/2012/2019

ShopVirtualizationTM supports Citrix which runs on top of Microsoft Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) giving you the ability to load software applications on only a small number of server farm host computers (often only one or two) but deploy these applications to many, many clients.

These applications run only on the farm's servers but appear to run on the end users' PC's, thin client terminals or other hardware devices. The end users access these applications either through a client side plug-in program using remote login or via a web browser.

Note: ! If you allow Internet access to your server farm via a secure gateway, then applications loaded onto the farm servers can be accessed anywhere on the web by users with proper credentials.

Server Farms

Citrix's XenAppTM Supports many Servers Clustered Together

• Citrix's XenApp Servers act as backups in case of failures
• Citrix's XenApp Servers also support Load Balancing

ShopFloorManager'TM treats a Server Farm as if it were a Single Computer

ShopFloorManager'TM requires each Windows user to register to its database. Part of this registration deals with where it is running and since with a multi-server farm it is not known which of the servers will actually supply the published application on subsequent logins, the information that ShopFloorManagerTM needs to validate the registration could change and require re-registration each time a user logs in. This is why ShopFloorManager'TM treats a Server Farm as if it were a Single Computer making it "Server Farm" Compatible!

Citrix
Verses
Microsoft's
Remote Desktop

Citrix's XenAppTM or Microsoft?

XenApp actually runs on top of Windows Remote Desktop. So why not just use Remote Desktop? It's true that Remote Desktop will solve the problem of having to install applications on all you users' local hardware.

What you get with Citrix is full control with automatic configuration on the fly for almost any type of client.

• Published Applications that work seamlessly with Windows. The applications look like they are running on your local hardware even though it is actually running on the server.
• Citrix not only works on Windows PC's but works with Apple MAC, Linux and other PC's and even IPhone, Blackberry and Android smart phones.
• Secure access to the Internet with a Citrix software or hardware access gateway. You can create secure connections via Remote Desktop, but it must be done on a server by server basis and does not work together like a Citrix Server Farm.
• Intelligent, full and automatic web interface for access to the published applications anywhere on the Internet.
• Plus advanced options abilities such as access control based on what client device/software is running and the ability to login on different kinds of hardware depending where in the world you happen to be and have your desktop automatically arrange itself compensating for differences in size and resolution.
• Application load balancing.
