Brian Madden On Project Trinity
Friday, 17 November 2006 by Michel Roth
Brian Madden has published an article about Project Trinity:"Citrix Engineer Jeff Muir recently wrote about a research project at Citrix called PortICA. PortICA's goal is to add an ICA protocol interface for Windows XP and Vista workstation products. It's important to note that PortICA is not Presentation Server for desktops. Instead, it's simply offering ICA as an alternative to the built-in RDP protocol for use in remote connection and remote desktop scenarios."

"The good news is that Citrix's Desktop Broker application is just a temporary stop-gap solution. They are working on a "real" VDI solution which is currently codenamed "Project Trinity." Trinity will integrate with Presentation Server's IMA infrastructure to provide users with access to virtual desktops via the familiar interfaces. It will also allow for direct ICA connections from client devices to the back-end Windows desktops, hence the need for an ICA interface to Windows XP / Vista."
