Citrix spoke about CloudBridge and CloudGateway during 2011 and at last Cloud Gateway 1.0 is available for use. CloudGateway Enterprise is a single point of control for enterprise delivery of Windows, Web and SaaS applications. Architecturally it looks like this:
CloudGateway Enterprise comprises of three key components:
- StoreFront services - The Windows component allowing the various Citrix Receivers to connect to the enterprise store, and deliver Windows, Web and SaaS applications to users, with a follow-me subscription and launch experience.
- AppController - A linux based virtual machine available for both XenServer and VMware based hosts, providing the central administrative point for configuration of all enterprise Web and SaaS applications, to be delivered to end users, with a single sign-on federation and consolidated provisioning capabilities
- Gateway services - Delivered through the Access Gateway component, either standalone, or as a feature of the NetScaler MPX, VPX and SDX platforms.
In addition to the above components CloudGateway Enterprise will also consist of regular AppConnector update packs, which will include new connectors for applications, that will keep increasing the number of applications supported for both federation and user account provisioning support within the AppController.
