Citrix Branch Repeater

Citrix Branch Repeater 6

The Branch Repeater 6 system represents the new version of one of the leading solutions for optimization of the corporate channels laid through global networks. Using the Branch Repeater 6 system and SmartAcceleration technology users of branches get a job of all services provided from public and private "clouds". In particular, the new solution of Citrix ensures optimal functioning of virtual desktops and applications, web applications and Windows applications and also does more convenient work with multimedia materials, voice services, video flows and other technologies. At the same time, the IT personnel can precisely regulate service priorities for each certain user or service, reducing costs and raising extent of control.

The new SmartAcceleration technology in the Branch Repeater 6 platform offers a number of advantages, including installation of priorities on users and services. Possibilities of SmartAcceleration technology automatically adapt the service quality level (QoS – Quality of Service) and quality of work (QoE – Quality of Experience), providing to IT personnel rich tools for management of services. For example, it is possible to control load of network, to range traffic of applications and services and also to protect crucial and sensitive to application delays with the help the politician. The SmartAcceleration technology contains flexible mechanisms for systematization of measures for optimization taking into account such factors as placement of applications, branches, users and also the application type, the protocol, the direction of traffic which is (proceeding/descending), etc.

The Smart Acceleration technology also provides the deepest control on different services – more than 500 specific applications and protocols are supported. Such control, except other, covers local and virtual applications and desktops, work with audio-and video files, Microsoft applications, web applications and many other tasks.

According to representatives of Citrix, the SmartAcceleration technology at the moment is the first and only solution which allows to set priorities of virtual desktops and applications on user groups. Using this mechanism of determination of priorities the IT personnel can accelerate differently access to services for different groups according to uniform corporate policy. At last, the SmartAcceleration technology provides acceleration of transactions at the highest level (Layer 7) of a reference network model of ISO/OSI. Such optimization of the application layer significantly accelerates transfer of the ciphered mail and files, including for mail servers of Microsoft (Encrypted MAPI and Exchange 2010) and file servers of Microsoft (SMBv2, Signed SMB v1/v2).
