Citrix XenApp Mobility Pack

Got a tablet?  Running Citrix?  Then you might just want to take a look at this.  We  all know that one of the key uses of tablet computers is the integration into the enterprise which poses a problem for many businesses when it comes to addressing access to Windows based applications to ensure the tablet truly delivers a valid ROI. 

Citrix is one way of doing this using it’s Citrix Receiver technology and recently they have expanded this capability with the Mobility Pack.  With this pack, XenApp can intelligently recognize an Android or iOS tablet as the endpoint and render Tablet Optimised Desktops. For published apps, the pack provides a true Native Device Experience, allowing mobile devices with the latest Citrix Receiver for Android (Receiver for iOS coming soon) to interact with apps in the data center.

Now, mobile device specific features such as auto keyboard popup, local selector controls, and auto scrolling are enabled, giving users get the best possible experience with on-demand Windows apps on their mobile device.  It can transform your desktop from this:

Current Shared Desktop Start Menu

to this:

Tablet Optimized Start Menu

So if you are planning your tablet deployment and are wondering how and when to tackle those Windows applications you now have a better Citrix experience to look at to increase your time to value.  Need help with your tablet deployment, then I suggest you look here.
