This portal utilizes Citrix Receiver to access a virtualized Windows Desktop internally on the Stony Brook Medicine network, allowing users to securely access most applications (Cerner PowerChart, Kronos, PACS, Remote Desktop…etc). Two versions of the application are available, which in both cases remains free but with different compatibility of the devices.Citrix Remote Access (VDI) portal is the preferred method of remote access using any Windows PC, Mac computer or tablet. It is possible to download a demo of XenApp Server, upon registration. The application is available for free in the AppStore, but to function, it requires XenApp or PresentationServer servers. Once inside, we would have access to our desktop and/or virtual applications, just like we were in the office.Īccess is possible in both WiFi and 3G/4G so that we could connect in any situation and from anywhere.
After the simple configuration, we will only have to enter the company credentials and log in. With Citrix Receiver, it will be possible to read Outlook e-mails, update the calendar, modify an appointment or open our documents in an application such as Word, Excel and browse sites with Firefox with lots of support for Flash.Īfter installing and opening the application for the first time, we will be asked to configure the type of access to our corporate infrastructure and the address where Citrix services reside. Besides, we will be able to access and take advantage of some native applications of the desktop operating system, directly from the iPhone. For example, it will be possible to take control of the screen of our computer to display it directly on an Ipad, but we can also combine an iPhone to be used as a mouse of our virtual desktop. Thanks to Citrix Receiver, we will be able to work by combining our devices together. Citrix Receiver for Windows is a software developed by Citrix System Inc, a multinational corporation founded in 1989, which provides technologies for desktop and server virtualization, networking, and cloud computing, including open-source Xen products, the leader in the sector of application virtualization for a year.Ĭitrix Receiver is an application for purely corporate use that goes beyond simple remote control with this software, it allows us to access our desktop computer directly from our iPhone or iPad.
