outstanding performance. With our schools increasingly relying on
mobile web and web apps, the security and additional performance that
comes from the NetScaler MobileStream technology is exactly what is
needed in today’s competitive educational landscape. Bring Your Own
Device is a growing trend within our Diocesan schools. We have seen
increased student involvement as they are using their own devices and
are able to better personalize them. Additionally, we are embracing this
trend because it produces significant cost savings as we do not have to
furnish devices in 1:1 programs. Our NetScaler technology plays a
critical role in supporting the network and application traffic demand
generated by these new devices on campus, and from home.
Our existing customers have
implemented Citrix NetScaler MobileStream in their test networks with
their applications, and have found a significant increase in time to
load to client browsers. Specifically, customers have noted that the
optimization updates have dramatically decreased application latency.
As the demand for mobile devices
continues to move forward at an increasingly rapid pace, the ability for
the network to support this growth is essential. NetScaler is poised
to address this trend by delivering secure and optimized mobile
networking capabilities.
Citrix NetScaler MobileStream not
only delivers the capabilities enterprises and service providers need
to address the exponential growth of mobile device use, it also empowers
IT to bring delight to end users by optimizing their mobile experiences
over any device while enabling fine grain control over corporate data.
Citrix is the only company in the industry today who can support an
end-to-end Mobile Workspace solution that tightly integrates enterprise
mobile application and device management with service delivery networks
optimized for mobile application delivery.
