How do vpns work

[

for the initial development of mobile pack XenApp, some choices were made for status / error codes. This sense everything during this time, but some issues have come since that requires attention. Nothing serious, but a bit more of an indication that things should be better explained

chain of thought :.

• Most CMPRESULT XAMA back API
• CMPRESULT is a signed 32-bit number
• CMPRESULT is directly related to CMP_ERROR_ID
• CMP_ERROR_ID is an enumeration in the cmpenum.h file included with the SDK
• CMP_RESULT_ID Each entry uses STATUS_CODE macro to build the status code (error code)
• the macro takes two parameters: the component of iD, and the error number
• both numbers are 16 bits each and combine to form the 32-bit status code (the component id is the big word and the error number is at least).
• When the error number (low word) is zero, it is considered a successful operation. Having a non zero status code could mean that he was successful. It is necessary to mask the high word to determine success.

The pattern is similar to the way Microsoft has documented its Windows API return codes. The major difference is that the code between Windows API and XAMA do not match. In other words, the status codes for XAMA can not be used against Windows status code.

Although there was some overlap between Windows and XAMA, there were several areas that had XAMA status codes. It was necessary to use our own status codes. This is a good strategy to support as many different receivers as possible. Since our status codes are well known codes limit, all our server and receiver code can be separated from the platform, they are executed. MRVC channel exchanges these codes and it would not have to leave it open to unlimited error code pattern. That's probably a little too much detail.

One objective of this position is to include a document for the current API StatusCodes XAMA

This PDF includes all outstanding status codes with hexadecimal values ​​and brief description. Based on a few different events inside and outside Citrix, it became clear that the mapping of the hexadecimal code to an error message is very valuable. Until it is more automated, this table should help to find a match.

The most common errors are related to me 0x1008 and 0x002C. These result in CMP_ERROR_GVCH_NOT_CONNECTED_STATE (0x1008) and CMP_ERROR_CLIENT_DRIVE_UNAVAILABLE (0x002C).

GVCH means Generic Virtual Channel. This error simply means there is no connection to the mobile device using MRVC (Mobile Virtual Channel Receiver). There are a number of probable causes :.

1. The mobile receiver version does not support XAMP / XAMA with MRVC
2. The session is currently offline
3. The rover could support MRVC disabled. (Currently not a problem, but could be in the future)

As for CMP_ERROR_CLIENT_DRIVE_UNAVAILABLE, the most common reason is that the receiver has Android client drive mapping (CDM) off. It is necessary to modify Android receiver parameters for all read access or full SD card. This error should not occur if there is an attempt to take a picture with the API and the CDM is not enabled on both sides. As the default value to enable CDM Receiver off on Android, which is why this error happened so often.

We are currently updating the documentation to better explain the status codes and include the hex values. This update of the online documentation should come in the following weeks, if not sooner.

Hello everyone, welcome to my second blog about Synergy in San Francisco, May 9 to 11, I continue my quest to provide, hopefully useful? information as you ramp to attend, or you need that little extra guidance for the sign outside your company to join us in May.

For several years now we have been banging a drum trying to let as many people as we could learn some important things have changed application management. If you face a large migration or transformation project or just trying to get your arms around the management of application management on a daily basis and wonder how on earth you're going to be able to certify the hundreds or thousands of applications under your responsibility read on.

conventional wisdom says you need to install, run and test applications to understand if they will work on Windows 7 64bit, virtualized or other technologies, and if you have the time, budget and the nerve you can still do it. If you did it that way before you know pain. Oh, and on your web applications, will they work in IE8 / 9/10

Turns out there is a smarter way - his base quickly to the automatic processing of all applications, high volume collecting their DNA. Add to this DNA for applications, a DNA analysis of your current operating system and your new user's operating system and you end up with something approximating an abstract computing environment. This time for the Windows client and Windows Server environments

Stop for a moment -. Its a pretty powerful concept
-. You can now query and model your environment without having to install and run, application to application
- you can see all the applications together, as a whole
- you can assess OS builds and their impact on the compatibility
- You can start to understand the relationships between applications and the operating system

But wait, there's more!
Why not add DNA to the operating system and application by users, including groups, devices as they exist in the environment. Now you step outside of the application portfolio and adding the context of "real world" where applications get used

now
-. You can represent applications and compatibility of the operating system by groups of users or devices
- You can deploy segment and phase depending on group fitness
- You can perform simulation scenarios without installing anything

Ok, aside marketing, lets look at what DNA is and what is possible with it. Also, what is not possible

The first thing to understand is how we collect DNA -. Who determines what is accessible to us. Our main objectives are the speed and scale - get as many holistic knowledge we can as quickly as possible on each application. We operate applications represented by their installation packages - the logic is that everything that makes a request is contained in the installer. Although this is not the whole story - Applications generally put files and settings down when they run, interact with the environment and perform various functions not described in the installer - there is a point starting very powerful and is our main goals. The format of choice Installer is the Windows Installer file (MSI), as this is a format "transparent" database that has a well-formed structure and can be queried while providing easy access to all files - binary formats and others - and makes what we call the "static" analysis (the ability to take DNA without running the application). MSI is ideal for abstracting how an application will install without actually doing the installation and use to our advantage.

We now know that all files and components and everything will settle in (files, registry, configuration, etc.) and this is our first "layer" of information from DNA . This is powerful, but not enough. For the next layer we extract all the files in a temporary location and analyze each file "statically", ie we install or launch files, but directly read binary headers that provides a wealth of information on API published and imported as well as file dependencies, 'bitness' (16/32/64 bit) and digital signature. For text files on the basis that we store the data for later analysis, for example the driver configuration files

Knowing this application is a lot about the powerful, knowing this about all the portfolio is huge

Image: .. components of the DNA of the application

key concept: we are deploying agents to collect data, we import application packages directly (eg a software library or source / deployment share files). Again, this allows high volume, rapid collection in depth and meets our primary objectives. We also know about each file and API in the application - running agents to "listen" to the behavior of the application takes time and requires users to fully enjoy the application before a complete picture also . This approach also lacks any information system or for the application and all its components. There are very good reasons to make use of agent-based systems to increase DNA (and we do), but as the main means to represent an application completely they lack detail.

What are the limits?
The good news is that all applications that run on Windows at some point, regardless of the programming language must be compiled in a common format to run on Windows. It is this common format we use for our static analysis approach. A notable exception is Java. Java actually has its own Portable Runtime Environment and Java tends to achieve its own compatibility problems between different versions and, while largely opaque to AppDNA we do a little analysis to expose Java applications, Java components and applications that contain or rely on Java.

Another common case is Microsoft Office. Most questions around Office relate to office data files and wether or not the old files will run on new versions of Office. We do not sweep Office files (Excel Think with macros forming an "application") to do this kind of analysis. What we do, however, is to identify other applications that include desktop plugins to press Office or Office files contain or have dependencies on it. This is very useful when looking for a 'surface' office to evaluate potential migration problems.

Non-MSI formats
Many of you will already have identified that there are loads of installation formats other than MSI and you are right to ask how we treat these latter. Another of our main goals has always been to be able to import any application format. Our approach to facilitate the installation of non-msi files during the import process and building a MSI to represent the application, and then import the application via the MSI. This process is managed via an automation layer that runs a VM and performs tasks required to install and capture the MSI application.

Agents
As mentioned above, we do not make use of agents as a primary mechanism for the collection, but we recognize the value of what can be collected by the intermediate agents. One of the first processes in application management is environmental auditing and agents are a powerful way to achieve this.

A "blind spot" with the static analysis are things that occur during execution and the things that exist in the operating environment. These include late binding dependencies, database connections, dynamic changes to the file system, settings, personalization, data creation and other aspects that define the application in terms of its components. Other key information such as performance, memory consumption, use, usage and other aspects related to access and use of the application are better collected through agents and, in some cases this is the only way to extract information from the environment.

with our latest Version 6 we launched integration with the analyzes based on the Lakeside SysTrack agent. In our first phase, we leverage SysTrack to identify applications are in the environment to perform inventory and portfolio rationalization.

The operating system
It's really important not to forget the operating system when considering applications. It seems logical, but it was never a way to think about how changes to the OS image / build could impact an entire portfolio. Similarly how tweaks to the OS image could solve problems across the entire portfolio. This is a new and important concept - you can actually see the impact of the current operating system and will be provided on the portfolio. You can also store multiple reference images for different building within AppDNA to compare the relative impact.

Wrap everything
Application DNA Collection is where we spent much of our engineering efforts in recent years and its cornerstone our ability to accurately predict the results for the various technologies that we present on. To ensure that the collection is deep and fast makes large portfolios accessible as never before. Added to the founding of the DNA is our unique algorithmic approach to issues surfacing and our flexible reporting framework, which customizable combing an application management platform to eliminate the complexity of migration and day-to-day portfolio. I hope this provides a sense of just why the DNA thing is a big problem for us.

It is rare that perceptions are worse than the marketing realities. I'm generally a "glass half empty" kind of guy, and while I was very happy to join Citrix, I expected heavy lifting to help build momentum in the cloud space. After a few weeks in my new role, I can say that I am pleasantly surprised (shocked damn close) to the footprint and the momentum Citrix in major operational cloud environments, especially with their open source platform products, Xen / XenServer and CloudStack.

Having recently come from a start-up open source, I understand the leverage of the massive market that open source can provide trying to disrupt the market leaders. in fact, it is the main reason why I joined Citrix. communities and open source technologies are really provide the foundation for cloud computing and I felt that having a cloud-ready hypervisor (Xen / XenServer) and IaaS platform (CloudStack) which are open source creates a significant opportunity to propel Citrix into a leadership position in cloud computing.

I have since discovered is that Citrix is ​​already in this position of leadership and they just forgot to tell anyone. While the industry has focused on the dynamics of the marketing of new alliances (OpenStack and OVA), Citrix has successfully occupied the close of business in a competitive race against VMware. How did they do it? Build and manage large communities of users and developers and to offer continuous innovation in products that remove lock suppliers at significantly lower prices.

I guess now all we have to do is standing wave our arms and shout from the rooftops. Here are some statistics that I was surprised to learn:

Xen / XenServer
========================
10+ million users
larger clouds Powers (Amazon, Rackspace, GoGrid and more)
# 1 Open Source Hypervisor
# 2 Market leader in server virtualization
Named Gartner server Virtualization market leader
20+ certified partners worldwide
1000+ certified cloud applications ready

CloudStack
============== ===========
Powers over $ 1 billion in cloud services
Used to build the biggest clouds (Zynga, Tata Communications, GoDaddy ...)
27,000+ active community members
1000 running CloudStack cloud
adding more clouds 100 per month

Add to that the scale of the Citrix field crew resource marketing, channel footprint worldwide and the basic strategic partner ... and ... Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner!

I'm happy to be on the team and we look forward to accelerating the success of open source Citrix portfolio.

Amid growing network deployments, products such as NetScaler ADC, repeaters Branch, SDX, Cloud Access Gateway bridge and bring the agility of network needs today. When these network products support the network, Command Center provides the solution for management and monitoring of these devices. Thus, each manageability and Command Center on monitoring button multi-folds out with its effect on the ease of network management.

In this blog, we will surround around how the flexibility of the representation of these devices within Command Center with host name, system name or an IP system can provide such simplicity to manage these devices.

Command Center by default, displays the detected devices with their IP system. Now, why would you change the IP representation of the system devices?

When managing multiple devices in different locations, by identifying specific devices at a particular location with their IP addresses does not come so easy. In the situation of this kind of naming convention makes up for it. The discovery of these devices with their host names will make things easier. Once you do this, the devices will be represented in Command Center with their host names only.

Now, if at any time you want to change the system or IP representation Name System. You can do this by changing Device Label under Administration >> Server Settings as shown below:

With these steps, you can get the flexibility to represent devices with hostnames. Now small change like this touches not only on the representation of the unit Citrix network Tab, but also in the list of devices under the Monitoring and certificate Management . This small but effective flexibility helps you represent your network in the right context.

this news article San Jose Mercury weekend last caught my attention because I deal with security issues regularly. Although all companies are highlighted in this article because of possible safety problems, I am sure many other companies work with the government to protect against cybercrime. As the article mentioned "stolen billions experts say cyber criminals cost American companies billions of dollars a year - with some of the worst attacks linked to China - and federal agencies were looted, too. In July, Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn revealed that "foreign intruders" have taken "Data terabytes" of defense companies, ranging from specifications for chariot parts, aircraft and submarines to "our systems the most sensitive. "therefore, it certainly helps to have as many technologies from different companies join forces to ensure the best possible security against cyber attacks layers. some Citrix blogs such as Kurt Roemer (Citrix Strategist security) can give some ideas on what Citrix technology can provide companies whether for the private or public sectors. Citrix technologies allow private or public sector to deliver applications or data on the desk against the deployment of applications and data on the desktop. Kurt was also appointed as a commissioner of the TechAmerica Foundation Commission on the leadership opportunity in US deployment of the Cloud (CLOUD2); therefore it is already working with the public sector in various initiatives. See Citrix news for more information on the appointment of Kurt. Citrix also features technology such as NetScaler Application Firewall protects many applications in the public or private sector today. Design for your fears! Synergy blog is also a good read. In fact, Citrix Synergy San Francisco next month also covers a large number of security issues. Why can we put a man on the moon, but not invent the best technologies against cyber attacks? As this article states that US national security working with many companies in Silicon Valley to fight against cybercrime and of course be an optimist - with the collective efforts everything is possible

Das neue output bietet eine ganze NetScaler 10 Reihe neuer Funktionen und damit die erweitert Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Lösung - NetScaler wird vom klassischen und Service Application Delivery Controller zur Networking-Plattform für die Cloud. Während die Unternehmen ihre Rechenzentren auf Cloud Computing vorbereiten, brauchen sie weiterhin Funktionen für die Anwendungs-und- Beschleunigung Availability. Darüber hinaus gilt es aber auch wie Sicherheit und Aspekte zu Skalierbarkeit betrachten. Mit dem neuen output NetScaler von heute alle Unternehmen können abdecken requirements. Die-TriScale Technology stellt den der neuen Version zentralen Bestandteil dar. Sie adressiert dabei die drei Schlüsselfaktoren im Bereich der Skalierungsmöglichkeiten, die heute in modernen Infrastrukturen benötigt werden:

Scale Up: bis zu 5-fache Skalierbarkeit - on request - auf einer Hardware
durch das "Pay-as-you-grow" -Lizenz kann ein Modell zum Beispiel Kunde 100Mbps Leistung und einkaufen durch Hinzufügen von Lizenzen Bedarf nach auf bis zu 500 Mbps aufstocken. darüber hinaus werden therefore genannte "Burst Packs" angeboten, die es möglich machen, Extra Kapazitäten für einen Zeitraum bestimmten bereitzustellen

Sale In :. Konsolidierung von bis zu 40 Appliances auf einer Plattform
für Rechenzentren, die ihre Konsolidierungs-Projekte weiter voran treiben müssen oder wollen, wird es möglich, bis zu 40 voll-Instanzen isolierte NetScaler NetScaler SDX einzigen auf einer zu Appliance betreiben. NetScaler SDX bietet komplette Trennung zwischen Unabhängigen Instanzen, und damit mehr als das Doppelte der Dichte konkurrierender Konsolidierungs-Lösungen. In Kombination mit und Scale-up Scale-out, wird diese und eine extrem dynamische leistungsstarke Solution

Scale Out :. Skalierbarkeit durch Clustering: Hinzufügen von bis zu 32 fachen Kapazitäten
Im Gegensatz zu konkurrierenden Clustering-Lösungen, wo mehrere anwendungen auf separaten Boxen als backup zu einander betrieben werden, ermöglicht das Citrix TriScale Clustering mehrere Appliances als eine große leistungsstarke Plattform behandeln zu, dass eine then einzelne Anwendung oder mehrere die Anwendungen zur Verfügung stehenden Ressourcen mehrerer nutzen können Geräte.

Clustering TriScale und Technologie
Der wohl größte Vorteil of clusterings aber ist, dass es eine Alternative zu einem optimal HA-Paar bietet. Durch Verwendung eines Clusters statt eines Paars-HA, wird garantiert Hochverfügbarkeit, Ressourcen im Idle-Mode vermieden und Leistung und höhere Kapazität bereitgestellt. Kapazitäten können durch einfaches Hinzufügen je nach Bedarf erweitert werden. Die-Clustering Technology kann durch ein Upgrade auf das Software version 10 ermöglicht werden und über alle funktioniert nathlos NetScaler Plattformen, Sowohl also die auch als Hardware- Software-Appliances. Es ist möglich somit, Cluster-Knoten zu bilden, die auch höchsten Ansprüchen a gerecht werden und Leistung Skalierbarkeit. Die Vereinfachung der Infrastruktur bietet darüber hinaus Vorteile in Sachen Verwaltbarkeit systems und bessere Nutzung von Rechenzentrumsplatz

der Neben TriScale-Technology bietet NetScaler 10 insgesamt über 0 neue Funktionen, Erweiterungen und Verbesserungen:

-. Die then genannten ActionAnalytics liefern ein und eine Echtzeit-Monitoring konfigurierbare Kontrolle für policies. Die von NetScaler gesammelten Rohdaten werden zu Informationen verwertbaren aufbereitet und der Business Intelligence dienen to oder der Anpassung von Richtlinien für und public-private Clouds

-. Für Eine integrierte Schnittstelle zur Citrix CloudBridge die einfache und sichere Anbindung Rechenzentrums of an external Cloud Provider

-. Auch die-DataStream Technology enthält weitere Verbesserungen in Sachen Flexibilität, Sicherheit und Visbilität. Dadurch wird insbesondere die Leistung von-Datenbank Infrastrukturen deutlich optimiert. Citrix hiermit baut die führende Rolle im Bereich der NetScalers of Datenbankskalierung weiter aus

-. Neue Funktionalitäten gibt es auch im Zusammenhang mit der von Bereitstellung virtuellen Arbeitsplätzen mit Citrix XenDesktop. Dazu gehört beispielsweise die Unterstützung der mit Authentifizierung Smartcards. . Außerdem ein trennt umfassendes Richtlinienmanagement die Verwaltung von virtuellen Desktops vollständig laufenden von rund um das Netzwerk Administrationsaufgaben

- Verbesserungen bei der Citrix Application Firewall erhöhen den Schutz vor dem Verlust sensibler Daten. Darüber hinaus wird das Format (CEF Common Event) vollständig unterstützt. Dank dieser Erweiterung können die Daten der Sicherheitsverantwortliche Anwendungs-Firewall und vergleichen genauere Einblicke Arten von zur Bedrohungslage go Web- und Cloud-Anwendungen erhalten.

NetScaler 10 ist ab sofort erhältlich.

NetScaler ingrains many features that are driven policy. The political use a logical expression, called a rule. They define how a function evaluates the request or response data. It also applies one or more actions determined by the result of the evaluation of policies. Many features use these expressions in the shares or the profiles and expressions have greater visibility into the system.

From the beginning of the NetScaler appliance, the 'classic' policies have been introduced which has served most use cases well. But with the gradual progress in the use cases and deployment of the more complex nature of the analysis, NetScaler has introduced policies "Advanced."

The conventional political evaluate the basic characteristics of traffic and other data. Over time, the treatment of advanced content, a need for better policies is entered, that supports a logical structure of treatment, more functions and data types.

Early political use a powerful expression language, which is built on an object model class. They are built on a totally different architecture over conventional policies.

The model complex operations and divided into multiple logical building blocks of layers. These logical blocks are only expression language objects covering all protocol layers which are in phase with the flow of protocol and behavior.

For example, consider a sentence Advanced as mentioned below.

HTTP.REQ.URL.SUFFIX.CONTAINS ( "jpg")

This expression when assessed for an incoming request. It examines data from the HTTP request. Rather than analyzing the entire application package or URL, it looks at the URL suffix and matches against ". Jpg" string. Thus, it saves more cycles on the processing and analysis and is much more effective in the definition.

advanced infrastructure offers several options that enhance your ability to configure the behavior of various features of NetScaler. It allows you to granularly analyze the data and allows several operations in the rule of politics.

Why do we need to convert standard in advanced policies?

Consider a scenario where you have migrated to a newer version of NetScaler software. You configured conventional policies for features that are now using advanced policies. Given the benefits of the advanced infrastructure, you probably want to use the advanced policies. Then go on ... but there is a challenge to convert your conventional policies and expressions in advanced mode. You may have 100s policies and expressions to work, not an easy task !!

This is where NetScaler provides integrated utility with 9.3 version that allows you to convert your traditional policies and expressions in advanced mode. J What a relief!

The conventional policies can be easily converted into political progress using "nspepi" tool comes with 9.3 release.

The conversion will be supported for the functions that support both classic expressions also well advanced. The following NetScaler support both classic and advanced expressions:

• policies AppFirewall
• authorization policies
• named expressions
• policies Compression
• policies CSW
• cache policies
• LB vserver token-based rule

How can we make the conversion?

• You can use the tool "nspepi" to convert a traditional single expression to the advanced expression syntax

Example:

root @ ns # nspepi -e "REQ.HTTP.URL == /*.htm"

"HTTP.REQ.URL.REGEX_MATCH (re # / (. *) . htm #)"

• You can use this tool to convert all conventional expressions in a NetScaler configuration file

Example:

root @ ns # nspepi -f ns.conf

OUTPUT: New configuration file created:

new_ns.conf

OUTPUT: New warning created file: warn_ns.conf

wARNINGS: total number of warnings because of link

commands: 18

WARNINGS: line numbers which control link

questions: 305, 306, 706, 707, 708, 709, 710, 711

712, 713.714, 715, 767, 768, 774, 775, 776, 777

conversion Notice, you must keep in mind before using this tool:

• The orders that exceed 1499 character limit must be manually updated.
• conventional multiple policies can be related to a given connection point with priority 0 or with the same priority.

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of XenApp 6.5 Mobile Application SDK Tech Preview .

as the leader in the mobile Workstyles, Citrix explores new critical business needs for mobile device
centered world where organizations migrate. The Mobile Application SDK leverages the new XenApp Native Device Experience feature introduced in XenApp 6.5 Mobility Pack Tech Preview and Receiver for Android 3.0 Tech Preview.

The new development toolkit is intended for use by enterprise developers, system integrators and software developers to create new mobile-friendly applications to be hosted on XenApp. existing Citrix infrastructure of these customers leverage applications and enable them to provide the mobilized applications, touch while keeping sensitive corporate data secure in the data center and not cached on easily lost, misplaced or stolen mobile devices.

Mobile Citrix SDK application provides over 50 mobile specific APIs that can be used from any Windows development environment business. These APIs allow developers to create touch-enabled UI for new and existing business applications. With the new API applications can leverage the unique capabilities of smartphones and tablets, allowing full access to sensors and device capabilities such as GPS, the camera and the accelerometer. These sensor information can then be relayed and used by an enterprise application hosted on XenApp in the data center. This capability is new and innovative that so far it was not possible for Windows applications in the data center to access these new device
capabilities.

Avanade, a Citrix System Integrator partner, used the SDK to create a Utility Monitoring application that uses information images on location services and camera are deported back via Citrix Receiver to the application running in the data center, as shown in the screenshot below.

In collaboration with Mobile SDK application two new showcase Technology Concept Releases for Mobile GoldenGate Email and Mobile PIN pad are available for download. GoldenGate Mobile Email is an example email / calendar / contacts application built with the SDK Mobile Application. It illustrates how a Developer, full frontal in mobile-friendly feature can be created with the SDK mobile application to integrate with a company like Microsoft Exchange system. Mobile PIN pad provides a simple practice PIN to access secure applications delivered from the Citrix infrastructure, which is ideal for mobile use case

Since Citrix Synergy in May, we talked a bit about access to secure files and data. It is an important issue given our heritage in delivering business applications to any device, anywhere. If you can not get access to your files and data so why access to applications? We've been busy since last May, not building vaporware that some of our competitors, but in fact the construction products and solutions, and secure access of data was in the lead.

As you know probably now Citrix recently bought ShareFile. ShareFile provides secure enterprise data solutions and managed and file sharing. This morning, we announced how this solution will be integrated with Citrix products and developed to create a transparent solution, centrally managed and accessible way for any company to manage employee data.

Although there are a number of available data solutions based on Citrix technology ShareFile it is one that is near and dear to my heart: follow me data on Citrix Receiver. Receiver already provides the single, secure sign on access to all Citrix application and desktop infrastructure from any device, anywhere. It is therefore natural that expanded access to end users in their work files and data from the receiver as well. More importantly, while viewing files is a factor, creating and editing work files is another thing. With the new follow me end users Receivers data can use either virtual or local applications to access and modify applications and synchronize files and save files working and activated data.

In the short term, our plan is to provide follow me data capabilities in Citrix Receiver in the coming months - with access to ShareFile existing infrastructure. This will dramatically improve the experience of the end user and integrate files and data beyond simple Windows Explorer access. Using existing ShareFile solution means that end users can access their local drive, network drive and Sharepoint files on the go seamlessly through the receiver. As with all things Citrix Receiver the new capacity will be freely available for end users via their app store or download from the Citrix Web site. For more information or to be included in the upcoming technology preview to follow me data please see our new Citrix Receiver Me Follow the page data solutions under development at http://fmd.citrix.com

in the longer term Citrix will enable a rich set of features and capabilities to enable grain controls for IT administrators demand to better manage security and compliance. At the end of the day, no matter what features we provide fresh it will always be up to decide which features to deploy. This way, even the most conservative organizations and conscious computer security can decide how, when and if they want end users to have access to internal documents. By integrating the control as part of Citrix CloudGateway - will happen in the first half of next year - IT administrators can decide how much access to give an end user based on the platform type, the location and purpose of the end user. For example, if the end user is inside the secure network or working from a home PC, they can get full access to their records. Conversely, if they are outside of the work network, on the road or access to files from one device to the tablet, they can get more severe restrictions. yet taken a final user may be allowed full access to their files with local publishing rights from a tablet within the network, but only access via a virtualized application to the outside the corporate network. All of these checks will be delivered as an integrated component of the Unified CloudGateway App Controller solution.

As I said follow me data updates to Citrix Receiver will happen in the coming months. Updating Citrix CloudGateway will occur in the first half of next year. To be included in the overview of the technology or just to find out what is new in Follow Me Data sure to bookmark and http://fmd.citrix.com continue to return in the coming months for more!

Citrix and RSA, The Security Division of EMC, have collaborated to integrate RSA SecurID ^® two factor authentication in the receiver for iOS and Android. The end users of these mobile devices now have a simplified experience to access their corporate virtual applications, desktops and data while maintaining the levels of secrity and required access control.

No longer will separate RSA SecurID ^® applications and Citrix Receiver necessary. Users only need the Citrix Receiver software. The integration of RSA components provides direct access within an application. The integrated solution is designed to help IT organizations facilitate the supply of two chips software Citrix Receiver and RSA SecurID to mobile devices with minimal user interaction

This is what Chris Fleck Citrix has to say :.

"integration of Citrix Receiver and the RSA SecurID soft token is an important step forward in providing convenience for users while maintaining IT security," Chris Fleck, vice president of business development, receivers and bridges Group, Citrix Systems. "mobile users are more demanding than ever. the faster and easier it is to access enterprise applications, plus the mobilization of the productivity gain workforce of a company "

this is what RSA CTO Sam Curry said on the subject:

." Today, organizations are struggling with the best way to provide improved productivity for enterprise applications to mobile workers while protecting mobile devices and the sensitive information they contain from misuse or mobile malware, "said Sam Curry, CTO, identity and data protection at RSA. "Citrix and RSA have a ready solution to the market that allows organizations to turn almost any mobile device into a powerful business tool to access virtual applications and desktops. Companies with mobile sales forces, healthcare organizations with care applications for sensitive patients and retailers with POS devices are just a few examples of organizations that can leverage this solution to help to ensure that mobile authorized users are allowed access to corporate applications, data and desktops. "

The integrated solution is designed to help IT organizations simplify the provisioning of both Citrix Receiver software and RSA SecurID tokens to mobile devices with minimal user interaction. The use of RSA SecurID software tokens helps lower total cost of ownership for organizations as they do not require any physical shipping, can be revoked and automatically redeployed, eliminating the need for replacement tokens.

Check out this great new streamlined functionality in beta of receiver for Android beta on the Android Market.

When Synergy conference in Barcelona last week, Citrix showed a demo mandatory "one more thing" at the end of the Keynote opening. This time he was Citrix Receiver running within Facebook, using an HTML5-based engine to connect back to the corporate data center and run Windows applications inside Facebook.

For those who do not see it, here's a link to the extract on Citrix TV.

http://www.citrix.com/tv/#videos/4745

How have we done, why do we do, and more importantly which should take you far from it.

As for the "how" it was relatively simple. Our web-based receiver has been designed to be easy to extend and integrate - for this demo we have enabled support for the receiver performance in an iframe and used the Facebook API to wire these together. Initially we renamed Receiver to give it a look and feel facebook (Receiver for Web supports rebranding simply by css), but during the opening march through, we decided to withdraw from it to avoid confusion about where Facebook has ended and the receiver started.

then, how do we reconnect to our XenApp? For this, we used our "engine HDX HTML5. Receiver for Web HDX engine typically uses a "native" - ​​for example, specifically written for Windows or Mac. These give the best user experience, and can provide access to local devices such as webcam or customer drives. However, compromise is the need to download an engine installation. It is not always possible, and if that is the case, our plan is to leverage the growing power of browsers to run HTML5 / JavaScript code.

Currently we ship HTML5 engine for use with ChromeOS (search "Citrix Receiver" in the ChromeOS store) and internal test this on a number of other browsers. For the Facebook demo, we decided to use it to illustrate the "zero install appropriate case for such use cases -. If a native receiver would work as well

(It is interesting to note that we deliberately used a private in the rear end closes LAN server to prevent our being swamped by conference delegates trying the demo themselves - so if you have tried and failed, that's why)

the final piece is unique. to log in. We have demonstrated the synergy of last year that our authentication framework is open to bring your own identity systems

http://www.citrix.com/tv/#videos/2886 ~ 2min 20 seconds -. 6 min 50 seconds.

'incoming' identity federation today like this is really the prerogative of a few Citrix experts - but we are productizing this in the future. For the outgoing identity federation (ie you use domain credentials to access applications that require other credentials, take a look at Gateway Enterprise Cloud).

Finally, the biggest question. "Why". Really there are three things to take

1. Think next to the box. People work in different ways, and while Facebook can not be a normal working space for many of us - for some people it is where they spend their lives. Appealing to new workers, especially young people, means looking at different approaches. Facebook may or may not be appropriate for your users - but it is a great illustration of what is possible
2. If we can integrate with Facebook, you can integrate your portal .. Keynote demos are really put together quickly on the basis of the core technology we have built within our current products and future. Receiver Adding a portal is not a big project.
3. The identity federation will be huge. You need control over user groups and policies to which users are in which groups and groups can access which applications -. But that does not mean you necessarily address connection or provision accounts manually

In 1800 employers often bore the cost of employees with houses. In recent years more we saw the same trend with cars, phones and laptops - but today many employees prefer to provide their own. This gives the choice of employees and frees their employers the cost and complexity of simultaneous execution of a real estate agency, car dealer, exchange and electronics superstore phone (probably as well as their "core business"). Perhaps "identity" will be the same way. Providers such as Google and Facebook allow me to choose an identity and access experience that suits me - but is also perfectly suited to meet the relatively modest needs of my business

This demo was very well a point rather than talk. a prediction of the future - but there are convincing arguments for such a future - and it is worth considering whether your company or the industry would benefit from such an approach

It has been a while since I started using XenClient on my laptop, and I've always lacked a nice and easy way to resize my VM disk is not synchronized. Because I'm a techie, techie and we're used to love the idea of ​​being aside the standards of the company and preserve our independence. XenClient is a great match for this concept of BYO, even feeling impelled me to study how to resize my personal XenClient VM disks that are not synchronized to the Datacenter.

So let me share with you how I managed to resize my main personalize VM disk (VHD) from my own unique laptop, without the need to SSH.

the first thing you need to do is open a terminal window XenClient receiver. Just go to Receiver for XenClient or press "Ctrl + 0". Once on your home screen, press "Ctrl + Shift + t", and your terminal window should appear asking for your root password (you should know that, for obvious reasons).

The next step is to identify your VM virtual disk (VHD). The discs of all VMs are located at / storage / disks, but there's a bunch of them with names based long UUID. So, which is the one I want?

In your case, it might be easier if you have little or few VM's pretty clear target size of your disk. Remember, these are thin provisioned VHD, so that the size of the vhd do not reflect the actual size of the disk being seen by the virtual machine, but the amount of space used.

IDENTIFY YOUR DISK VM

If you is not that lucky, this is what you do:

Go to " / config / VMS "(using" cd "command) where you will find a lot of db file with a filename based on the VM UUID. These files retain the configuration information of VM, and the discs are specified in the configuration files. Knowing the VM UUID might be difficult, but the name of my VMs is something that I can easily remember. So all I have to do is run the following command:

 grep -r -l "My VM Name" /config/vms/*.db

The output of this command should be db file for "My Name VM" VM. Something like this:

 /config/vms/b4501705-0232-45da-9d12-9f80e45bd857.db 

Now that I have identified the file, we'll dig into it to find VHD disk for this Vm. You can easily type:

 /config/vms/b4501705-0232-45da-9d12-9f80e45bd857.db[1945007vi] 
 Once modified the file, scroll to the "Disc" . "0" paragraph represent your mounted iso, and "1" represent your attached drive. So in the "1" section, you will have the "path" value. It would look something like this: 
 
 "1": { "path": " / storage  / disks  /your_vhd_uuid.vhd" 
 
 This is real we vhd looking for. Great, now we are 100% sure this is the disc. Write it from the Terminal window you will not be able to copy and paste. You will not have a backslash, your path would be like: 
 
 "/ storage / disks / your_vhd_uuid.vhd" 
 
 Type "q + Enter". Exit vi editor 
 
 
  copy the file VHD  
 
 But now I have to move my VHD file somewhere, I can then take my VM to resize disk. In my case, I will move the VHD file to a NAS. To avoid this from an additional computer via SFTP or SCP, I would just mount a CIFS share XenClient terminal window as follows: 
 
 Create a mount point: 
 
 mkdir / mnt / VHD 
 
 (worked for me) 
 
 Run :. 
 
 up server_user username =, password = secret //192.168.44.100/share / mnt / VHD [-o-tcifs
 
 ... where server_user and secret will your credentials to connect to your action. 
 
 Hopefully, now you should be able to change in the "/ mnt / VHD" and browse by content with the ls command 
 
 while assuming of past, time to copy the VHD file :. 
 
 /storage/disks/your_vhd_uuid.vhd cp / mnt / VHD 
 
 "your_vhd_uuid.vhd" must be the one you have written on a previous step. Now it's time to wait for it to be copied. 
 
 There are other ways to copy your file, as you can mount a USB key, but it will still require Linux skills. In this post I will focus on the use of NAS as a storage medium to support the transition vhd. 
 
 
  RESIZING YOUR VHD  
 
 For vhd resizing, I will be using "VHD Resizer vmtoolkit". It is easy and neat. You can download it from http://vmtoolkit.com/files/default.aspx
 
 In my case I will install this tool on another virtual machine, so it would be easier for me. It's time to start extra virtual machine and install "VHD Resizer". After installation, I will recommend to map the CIFS file sharing shame, now from your Windows virtual machine. It should be something like: 
 
 net use z: \ 192.168.44.100  share / user: [DomainName  UserName] / persistent: no vhd 
 
 If everything mapped correctly, you can now launch "resizer". You should select your vhd source and destination file. Keep it dynamic and assign the new size. For this I am a screenshot: 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 Try to have your destination folder on the same hand so it would be easier to return the VHD in XenClient. 
 
 therefore resizer will start dumping your sector of a disk to another and ultimately will end. 
 
 
  move the VHD resized iN XenClient  
 
 now it's time to import your new VHD file in XenClient. Your new VHD should be about the same size as the previous record 
 
 Back in the terminal window on XenClient receiver. ( "Ctrl + 0" + "Alt + Tab" in case your hidden terminal window), you will just need to copy your file as follows: 
 
 cp /mnt/vhd/your_vhd_uuid_2.vhd / storage / disk 
 
 Make sure there is enough space on your physical disk. Otherwise, remove your previous vhd of "/ storage / disk" with the "rm" command. 
 
 If you still retain your previous vhd (do as a best practice, so you can easily go back to your previous disc in case something goes wrong with your resized vhd), rename your "old" file, or whatever you feel comfortable to identify it later. for this, use the command " mv "as follows: 
 
 mv your_vhd_uuid.vhd your_vhd_uuid_old.vhd 
 
 Now you must rename your resized vhd It is important that you rename the vhd resized on behalf of the vhd source, otherwise. your VM will mount the disk later. 
 
 mv your_vhd_uuid_2.vhd your_vhd_uuid.vhd 
 
 Guess what. PUT yOUR oN !!! VM 
 your VM should now be able to start resized from the disk. 
 
 
  EXTEND YOUR VM dISK VOLUME  
 
 But I'm afraid we did not go all the way. If you go to Windows Explorer, you will see your  C:  drive is the same size as before. You still need to expand volume to include the new unallocated space. To do this, go to Windows Disk Management and you will see something like this: 
 
 (Next screenshots are in Spanish, but you understand) 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 now, right click on  C.  volume and select "Extend volume" Make sure that your disk is added by specifying the new unallocated space (it should be done automatically by default.) And press "Next." 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 when finished, you can say now done !!! 
 
 If you have managed to get the full path, WELL dONE !!! 
 
 Remember to keep a copy of your vhd source as a backup, just in case you need to roll back. 
 
 And we hope that you enjoyed this post. 

When starting to turn a desktop computer, many people get stuck in one of the first decisions: What type of virtual desktop dois- I implement? (VDI, RDS, local VM, etc.) There are so many options for both use cases we analyze our users stuck until we confuse us more. The problem is that we try to start treating all of these exceptions. We let all these unique use case and confuse Stall our efforts. That's why when you make the office processing; you must start with the case easier to use. This is not because we can not make the case difficult to use; it is that the project team, you need to show progress. And the easiest use cases allow you to show success quickly.

Honestly, when looking at the case easier to use, it's a pretty safe bet to go with a shared desktop model (RDS / XenApp). Although many do not speak much on the shared desktop model because everyone is so focused on VDI, it is an approach that has proven itself. In fact, I remember working with an organization that was in 1998 workstations on the predecessor of RDS / XenApp, which was called Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition with MetaFrame 1.0. And guess what ... It worked

Of course, you can find lots of information about the way the shared desktop model is more scalable than the office staff (VDI) model, but one aspect that is still missing is Comfort.

Oh my God, one of the words "marketing" right? Yes, but here's what I mean.

If I make a personal desktop (VDI), I will get a Windows 7 desktop with applications and it will work. If I make a shared office (RDS / XenApp published desktop), I get a desktop "Windows 7" with applications and it will work. However, I get something else. I can also access applications seamlessly, where desktop interface is hidden from the user view (some call it a published application or applications without welding)

Many of you users of XenApp formerly think, big deal. We have done this for centuries. Correct, we have, but now we have people trying to access desktops / applications tablets and phones. On my iPad or Android phone, I first had access to my personal desktop (VDI). It worked, but it was uncomfortable and I've heard people say that it was against nature. I agree. It was too difficult to launch applications. If I am trying to launch an application for the iPad, so I want to first go to the Windows 7 desktop? Hmmm, I do not know. I just want to start an application. If I start with the shared desktop (RDS / XenApp), I can choose between a complete desktop and a single application, while the office staff (VDI) requires me to use the full desktop.

When starting office transformation, first shared office (RDS / XenApp). Work through the user groups who can work in a shared office environment. Once these groups are complete, we move on exceptions, which are probably less than you think. Stay tuned for more

Hello, my name is ...

Mike Fouts and I want to use my first blog entry Citrix Community to introduce myself, my new role as a channel Chief Americas and my vision for the future of our channel program.

my background

I spent 17 years in the technology industry, and experience covers many sectors, including health, finance , sports and software. I'm not new to Citrix as a company; in the last 10+ years at Citrix, I have held several positions here and most recently served as director of sales and services for the Southeastern United States. I'm also no stranger to the chain. Before my time as principal, I was director for channel development and recruitment, and also worked for one of our distribution partners, a gold partner in New Jersey. I earned a Bachelor of Computer Science degree from Trinity University. I live in Coral Springs, Florida with my wife, Kathy, and two children, Samantha and Davis. In my free time I like to play golf and foolishly hoping that the Indianapolis Colts win at least one game this season.

My role

As senior director of Americas Channels and Field Operations for Citrix, I serve as a Channel Chief Americas and I am responsible for the conduct of strategy and successful execution go-to-market for the Americas region. I also run marketing teams for the Americas and it is my duty to work closely with the Citrix channel to enable virtualization and cloud computing.

My vision for the channel

The main objective of the Citrix channel program will continue to focus on providing innovative programs, solutions and resources that Citrix enterprise more profitable for the channel community. All previous Channel Chiefs Citrix operated under this guiding principle, including my immediate predecessor, Craig Stillwell, and I intend to uphold that tradition.

But in this wider field, I want to highlight three specific areas of focus in 2012:

1. We will continue to equip partners with innovative resources they need to sell more products more profitably. We listened to our partners carefully, and next year we will make some new tools and information available to our community partners. They enable our distribution partners to take full advantage of the growing interest and demand for virtualization solutions.
2. We will continue to find ways to facilitate collaboration between partners and organization of Citrix sales. After spending the last 15 quarters running a sales organization on the ground, I understand the importance of alignment and field engagement. It is important to me that we increase our efforts on identifying and implementing strategies to improve the alignment between our partners and internal sales teams.
3. We made some exciting announcements at the Barcelona Summit last month. An important area centered on the establishment of an SME-focused certification partners. As part of this, we will expand our sales efforts via channel to customers in the SMB market. With the acquisition of Kaviza, we now have another virtualization solution of crises this market segment. We plan to work with our partners to aggressively target businesses with our complete range of solutions that include VDI-in-a-Box, easy, affordable, all-in-one virtual desktop solution designed specifically for small and medium companies, as well as the undisputed industry leader XenDesktop and XenApp products.

Please keep me and this blog page follow as we roll out new programs, tools and processes to Citrix Americas Channel, with blogs invited other members of the team direction of the channel.

Very often we (the Ask the Architects team) asked which optimizations should be applied a XenApp (6! /6.5) server. What we usually do to answer this question is to dig through our personal knowledge repositories and try to find a good list of settings. Well, this is not exactly a very efficient process so we but it is now time to understand a comprehensive guide, which summarizes the most common optimizations.

Unfortunately, there are a multitude of registry or GPO settings to settings that can optimize a Windows Server, but many of them are linked to very specific scenarios and only have the capacity to effectively limit the scalability in other cases. we essentially as filtered through these tweaks "toxic" and only summarizes the optimizations applicable to many (if not all) environments. Nevertheless, it is important to test all changes in detail before rolling on production. So please keep this in mind. Still

The New Guide (which can be downloaded here) is divided into two sections

• Section 1 -. Windows R2 Configurations 08 : This chapter focuses on optimizations that are applied at the server. We have divided the chapter general optimizations for XenApp servers and optimizations for XenApp servers that are provisioned by means of Provisioning Services (PVS). In addition, we examined the services and some optimizations file server
• Section 2 - User Settings : .. This chapter focuses on the specific optimizations to the user, also includes some policy changes XenApp

As mentioned earlier, we have tried to include only common optimizations. So there is a long list of things we skipped on purpose for the reasons mentioned above. But if you know a RegKey or GPO setting that we missed, please leave a comment or send me an email and I'll include it in the guide

Update :. The optimization guide was also added to the XenDesktop Design Handbook. You can find it in the Planning Guides section.

When the implementation of a supply service infrastructure of the decision on the location of the write caching is one of the most important and therefore one of the most discussed. As I have already written two blogs on the subject (you can find them here and here) I will not bore you with more theoretical. Instead this time I would like to share some practical real-world data, an environment where the PVS Write Cache 6 virtual XenApp servers are written on the local disks of only one XenServer. This configuration is discussed quite often because it is a very cost effective solution (Alex Danilychev wrote a good blog about it), but it also holds the risk of local disks are a bottleneck. So in order to understand if this setup works for your environment, you must test and in-depth analysis. See CTX130632 for some advice.

For example my client in this configuration works well enough, for about 3 years. Initially, the customer chose this configuration for cost reasons, such as a configuration with shared storage they would need to upgrade the SAN controllers and added a large number of disks existing shared storage infrastructure.

The environment

- All XenApp servers are virtualized using XenServer 5.6 SP2

- HP 2U rack mounted servers

• 4 x 140GB 15k SAS drives
• Smart Array P410i - RAID Controller
• battery 512MB write cache
• RAID 5

- Running XenApp 6

- 30 concurrent users per XenApp server during office hours

- More than 1,500 concurrent users in total

- Ratio 6 XenApp servers XenServer Host

Gathering performance data

We collected performance data using the standard Linux iostat command. To filter out unnecessary data immediately we piped the output in the awk command. This gave us the following string:

" iostat -XK 15 5760 | awk 'BEGIN {print" Time peripheral rrqm / s wrqm / sr / sw / s RKB / s wkb / s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm% util "} / c0d0 / {print strftime ("% H:% M:% S "), $ 0} '> iostat.csv "

In detail means this command:

- iostat -XK 15 5760 - Requires extensive statistics iostat (KB format) at an interval of 15 seconds to 5760 times (= 24 hours)

- / c0d0 / - Filter the output device for c0d0 block

- > iostat.csv - Write output iostat in iostat.csv file

After running this command, we returned a csv 1MB file that could be imported into Excel. From there it was easy to create the graphs below (please note that we captured data during the night, so the middle of the graph is midnight):

The performance graphs

the first graphics display shows the IOPSs caused by the activity of writing PVS cache virtual XenApp servers. As we can see most of the IO activity is written, which is the same in virtual desktop environments. (Please click on the graphs to enlarge)

The second graph shows the read-write ratio even more impressive detail.

The third graph shows the flow in kbytes / s. So this is the actual amount of data read or written and

Finally, we need the data to put graphics in a relationship. Here is the table of use of local disk subsystem:

As we can see the disk subsystem is far from saturation, even if it must manage more than 800 I / Os per second during the logon peak. This is possible only because the RAID controller cache was equipped writing backer battery. This allows the RAID controller to commit the write operation to the XenServer almost immediately. The actual writing to disk is performed whenever the use permits. Although I have no data without such cover, I guess we would use at least 0%, if not even higher.

maintenance approach

I'm sure some of you are now wondering how the customer to maintain hardware / hypervisor and how do they face fault? The reason behind this question (for those who could not keep up) is that in such a configuration, the virtual XenApp servers are linked to an individual XenServer. Indeed, the virtual disk attached to the virtual machine can not be moved. Thus, XenMotion is not possible and if the XenServer should be put off all VMs residents need to go down as well. The customer has solved this problem with a very pragmatic approach. The just bought two XenServers longer required to hold 100% of the load. So in case of maintenance work, they simply disable the connections respective XenApp servers. When the last user was registered, they are able to do what must be done without harming any user. Of course, it is not as flexible as using XenMotion, but given the cost savings mentioned earlier, it was ok for them to have this level of "flexibility".

customer happiness

in addition to showing the purely technical measures, it is very important to answer if the customer is happy with this setup. Basically, the answer I got was, "Yes, we are happy with this setup and we recommend this solution to other customers as well. But of course it depends on the requirements of the individual environment. "

So I think it shows a writing PVS cache configuration local disks is a valid solution for XenApp environments that works not only in theory. I want to prove the same for a XenDesktop environment, but I could not get my hands on some real world data where I also got permission to publish it. So if you would help me here, leave please comment below or email me directly.

A community.citrix.com, new NetScaler Application Firewall (AppFW) AppExpert model is now available with SharePoint 2010. The AppFW models available today not only provide all the acceleration parameters, optimization and high availability, but now a model is also available which includes AppFW settings to improve security. AppFW NetScaler provides security against any application of the layer of vulnerability or attack. Having these models Admins help deploy all available features exactly for SharePoint 2010 and greatly simplifies deployment.

After downloading the template, here's the catch NetScaler in the menu on how to download from the GUI by going to the AppFW folder, select Signatures, clicking Add and import the model:

This is a also capture the NetScaler menu if the customer wants to configure the AppExpert menu. Either way works!

Template docs are available community.citrix.com for details.

So far, I have found Siri be helpful to set up alarms and asking when my first meeting is on the way job. It is also cool enough for demos and entertaining others, although many Android users are happy to show their Vlingo app did that for a while. More significantly, Siri demonstrated the potential power of voice to enhance mobile experience, but not much real work ... again.

For those wondering if and when Siri can be used with XenApp hosted app yes and now (and you do not need to hack ... ). Yesterday, Citrix announced a new Mobile Application SDK for building or adaptation of Windows applications to look and feel like native mobile applications. The new API also provide the ability to use the native phone capability such as GPS camera and telephone calls. The new Citrix Mobility Pack (CMP) that runs on XenApp 6.5 also includes features, including an automatic pop-up keyboard that works like a native application with the last receiver. So it is now possible to build an application that is securely hosted in a data or cloud center and get all the benefits with only native Citrix Receiver installed on the device.

Video shows Siri accepting voice commands, translating natively text, then send the encrypted text GoldenGate Secure Email app hosted on XenApp 6.5. This should provide a good example of what can be done to provide an application that works in any real security. In reality, you can test yourself, even on applications unmodified windows with older versions of existing XenApp. Simply activate the local text, press the icon / Mic Siri in the keyboard, wait for the text to appear and press Send.

If you just want to try, you can download the free receptor, register for an account and try DemoCloud. Talk to Siri and get a taste of what mobile voice will be able to do it for real work.
