Distributed Computing

At the heart of Integra Networks' application virtualization solution is Softricity's SoftGrid platform - a virtualization technology that enables applications to run without the need to install them locally, without altering the host operating system, using Citrix-based application deployment strategies.

Because applications bring their own configuration and run within a protective virtual run-time "sandbox," there is no dependency or effect on the configuration of the machine running them. As a result, SoftGrid allows any application to run side-by-side with any other application on the same computer without any conflicts. However, since applications execute locally, they run with full performance, functionality, and access to local services - including cut and paste, OLE, printing, network drives and attached devices.

Citrix Access Infrastructure Solutions for Application Deployment provide a centralized and secure platform to simplify and speed deployment of host-based, web-based, and desktop applications and information.  In a business world transformed by globalization, IT staff must be able to provide anytime, anywhere, any-device, any-connection access to the enterprise. They must deliver business-critical applications and information quickly and efficiently. Continuous access to real-time information is integral to success. Accomplishing this across the Internet, or any network, requires robust, centralized application delivery and management capabilities. The solution must be scalable, reliable, manageable and secure. Businesses can count on Citrix solutions to achieve this goal-and to maintain their competitive advantage.

Citrix Access Infrastructure Solutions address every company's need to deploy business-critical applications and data across the extended enterprise-while simultaneously lowering the TCO for technology infrastructure:

• Allow rapid application deployment-what used to take months now takes minutes
• Accelerate delivery of a full range of business applications-including ERP, CRM and office productivity software
• Enable rapid technology integration following mergers and acquisitions
• Increase ROI by extending the life of existing technology investments-without rewriting applications or changing existing computing architectures
