Citrix Access Essentials 1.0

Scaled-Down Capabilities

Many of the features that have made Citrix the leader in server-centric computing remain intact, including SpeedScreen technology, audio support, secure access over the Web, support for non-Windows clients and user policies for advanced deployments. Features not included in CAE are those needed for multiserver implementations, such as clustering, load balancing, and advanced monitoring and reporting. In addition, CAE supports only up to 75 users per server and runs solely on Windows.


Good

Bad
