Support for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 编辑

Citrix Gateway service provides users with secure access to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops across a range of devices including laptops, desktops, thin clients, tablets, and smartphones.

Citrix Gateway service enables secure, remote access to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, without having to deploy the Citrix Gateway service in the DMZ or reconfigure your firewall. The entire infrastructure overhead of using Citrix Gateway moves to the cloud and hosted by Citrix.

You enable Citrix Gateway service in Citrix Cloud. After enabling the service, users can access their VDAs from outside their network, as shown in the following diagram.

How it works

Users’ endpoints and their on-premises hosted resources VDAs are connected to their nearest respective POPs via Citrix Cloud Connectors. Later, when users select a virtual app or desktop to launch from their Workspace app, the nearest POP hosting that connection identifies the pertinent resource location and directs it to establish a Citrix Cloud Connector session to that POP forming an end-to-end connection and then a virtual session is established.

• Sessions are linked via Citrix Gateway service across cloud partner’s WANs.
• VDAs and Workspace endpoints rendezvous at the Citrix Gateway service POP closest to the user.
• High quality sessions.
