Thinstall And Citrix Partner to Deliver Virtualized ICA Client For USB Drives
Monday, 06 March 2006 by Michel Roth
Cool! : Thinstall and Citrix today announced the availability of the Thinstall Virtualized Citrix Presentation Server Client. By virtualizing the widely-used Citrix (ICA) access client with Thinstall technology, Citrix and Thinstall now provide an easy to use, powerful solution for end users, ISV partners, and corporate IT organizations that enables immediate access to Citrix Presentation Servers via a secure USB key.

The Thinstall Virtualized Citrix Presentation Server Client provides the following features and benefits that are ideal for use with USB drives, remote access, and mobile users:

Instant Citrix access without installation
The single Thinstall compressed EXE enables the Citrix Presentation Server Client to be carried conveniently on a USB key drive or CDROM and runs regardless of what is – or isn’t –already on the host computer. This eliminates technical support hassles and makes Citrix access easy for mobile users.

Works on locked-down PCs
Administrator-lever user privileges are not required because the Thinstall Virtualized Citrix Presentation Server Client does not have to be installed or anything modified on the host PC, allowing users to have universal access anywhere they go.

Sensitive information is kept secure
While running under Thinstall, Internet Explorer browser history and temporary files are loaded and stored directly from the USB drive ensuring no trace is left behind. As well, Citrix Presentation Server client configuration settings are loaded and stored directly from the USB drive preventing the user from accidentally leaving behind their login name, password, or session cache data.
