CloudConnect, a leader in Cloud Infrastructure technology and
application delivery, announced today that it has released version 3.6
of CloudConnect's DesktopConfig.
CloudConnect announced release of the latest version of its Cloud
deployment tool. DesktopConfig manages lifecycle management and provides
tight integration with Microsoft Windows, augmenting Citrix to include
items such as common bug fixes, workarounds, and reliability of the
Current Release XenApp track. With DesktopConfig, CloudConnect enables
customers of Citrix technologies to realize the full benefits of Citrix
and the XenApp Long Term Service Release.
CloudConnect's release of
DesktopConfig 3.6 includes many updates and additions, including
compatibility with Citrix XenApp and Adaptive Transport. Adaptive
Transport is a new data transport mechanism designed by Citrix for
XenApp and XenDesktop. By increasing the responsiveness and performance
of software applications, it improves application performance and
greatly broadens the geographic reach for CloudConnect end users.
Adaptive Transport is
available for new and existing Citrix deployments on the CloudConnect
platform. The result is that applications running on CloudConnect are
faster and more scalable, improving the end-user experience by enhancing
application interactivity.
According to Citrix, using
Adaptive Transport enables ICA virtual channels to respond to changing
network conditions, automatically switching the underlying protocol
between the new Enlightened Data Transport (EDT) and TCP to deliver the
best performance. It improves data throughput for all ICA virtual
channels including Thinwire display remoting, file transfer (Client
Drive Mapping), printing, and multimedia redirection.
"This latest release of
DesktopConfig reaffirms CloudConnect's commitment to fully integrate
with Citrix and the latest Citrix releases," said Douglas Sherwood,
National Channel Manager of CloudConnect. "Adding Adaptive Transport
to CloudConnect's list of features will improve application
responsiveness and performance. It's a game changing technology that
makes applications and CloudConnect's Cloud Desktop truly accessible to
everyone, regardless of geography," commented Sherwood.
