Announces the General Availability of its THINssentials™
Software Suite
Citrix Business Alliance Charter Member Releases the
Thinssentials™ Software Suite to 9,300 Citrix Solutions
Network Members
Reston, VA and Orlando,
FL – October 2nd, 2000
Emergent OnLine, a charter member of the Citrix Business
Alliance (Citrix Systems, Inc., Nasdaq: CTXS), announced today
at iForum in Orlando, Florida, the general release of EOL
Thinssentials™ - a software suite of essential server-based
computing software tools designed to enhance the inherent
functionality of Citrix MetaFrame and Microsoft Terminal
Services.
“Over the last decade, we
have gained an unprecedented level of server-based computing
expertise as a leading Citrix Platinum partner in the nation,”
said Peter Ghostine, co-founder and CTO of Emergent OnLine.
“We have seen every challenge encountered on the MetaFrame and
Windows Terminal Server platforms – and have developed the
tools and utilities to address them and provide the
enhancements customers and channel partners are seeking to
ease their deployment efforts.”
Emergent OnLine will be demonstrating its suite of
Thinssentials™ at iForum in booth # 23. Visitors will also be
provided with a demonstration copy of Thinssentials™ to
install, test and enhance their existing MetaFrame and
Terminal Server implementations.
"We leveraged EOL's Citrix
knowledge to develop a custom remote host printing solution
that had evaded experts across the country, said Jonathan
Goldman, Manager of Computer Operations and Network Services
with Arlington Hospital. “We are now also using EOL’s
AppPortal to make our various applications more accessible to
our staff."
“Emergent’s proprietary server-based computing value-added
software is a crucial component that is enabling us to
successfully perform an enterprise-wide implementation,” said
Al Woolf, Executive Director of Network Support for
ValueOptions.
“During our pilot process, we determined that we needed
enhanced functionality for our 800-user MetaFrame deployment,”
said Fred Samarelli, president and CEO of TCB Associates.
“Managing printers and providing simple integrated application
access were our biggest challenges. EOL’s AppPortal and
Printer Driver Services gave us the functionality we needed.”
Citrix Systems, Inc. is a global leader in application server
software. Citrix currently has more than 100,000 customers
worldwide, including all of the Fortune 100, 80 percent of the
Fortune 500 and 40 percent of the Financial Times FT 500. It
is estimated that more than 200,000 Citrix servers and 24
Million Citrix clients are currently in production –
distributed through a global channel network of over 9,300
channel partners and distributors.
EOL’s THINssentials™
EOL AppPortal™ - provides single-point access to
Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame hosted applications via
an intuitive Microsoft Outlook-style listbar. Administrators
can configure folders and applications for individual users
and groups. When users log on to the server farm, they receive
a listbar populated with just the applications that they were
granted permission to access. Multi-server replication and
auto-refresh capabilities are inherent to the product.
EOL Printer Driver Services™ - Enables Citrix MetaFrame
and Terminal Server administrators to disseminate printer
driver packages to one or more WTS/MetaFrame servers
simultaneously. Pre-installing printer drivers on
WTS/MetaFrame servers is absolutely necessary in order to
support client printer auto-creation over Citrix ICA and
Microsoft RDP connections. This product helps to significantly
reduce the administration time required to disseminate printer
drivers to multiple servers in an application farm
EOL ICA Session Watchdog™ – Runs as a true NT service
and provides a hands-off solution to common Terminal Server
and Citrix MetaFrame related problems such as: 1) ICA
client-side printers not auto-deleting when users log off, 2)
Stuck print jobs, and 3) ICA connections going “down”
inexplicably. This product helps to keep your Citrix MetaFrame
and Terminal servers in optimum condition, significantly
increasing availability and reliability of client-side
printing over Citrix ICA and Microsoft RDP connections.
EOL ListDrivers™ - Allows an administrator to enumerate
all installed printer drivers and associated details, as well
as delete drivers on any target MetaFrame or Terminal Server
in the application server farm. The administrator can also
generate a "dependency report" outlining what other drivers
rely on the same files used by the driver the administrator
intends to delete.
EOL SessionMeter™ - Limits the number of concurrent
sessions allowed by users in a WTS/MetaFrame application
server farm. An administrator can, for example, restrict users
from logging on to more than one session at a time.
EOL Secure Desktop Services™ - Pre-configures and locks down
your users' server-based desktops as easily as pointing and
clicking, without the need for using NT profiles and policies
or cost-prohibitive third-party products. An administrator can
specify the application shortcuts, folders, color backgrounds,
and various other desktop settings on a per-user or group
basis. Multi-server replication capabilities are inherent to
the product.
EOL Managed Printer Services™ - Pre-configures
client-side and network printer resources on a per-user or
per-group basis. Multi-server replication capabilities are
inherent to the product.
EOL CleanProfiles™ - Runs as true NT service and
deletes “orphaned” copies of cached profiles.
EOL SetPassword™ - Permits users to easily change their
own passwords and administrators to change anyone’s password.
EOL SetPrinter™ - Allows users to choose their default
printer and manually connect to client-side and network
printers.
