Program Preview:
The Remote Desktop Presented by John Miniello of the Network Support
Company with Fred Zering of Citrix Systems
by Flo Ferrara
DACS is pleased to welcome John Miniello, Senior Systems Engineer
of the Network Support Company in Danbury to deliver the May
DACS presentation on remote desktop and server virtualization.
John will be joined by Fred Zering of Citrix Systems.
The Network Support Company, LLC (TNSC) has been serving the
small-to-medium-size (SMB) business community since 1996. TNSC
is a full service provider of IT Networking, Desktop, Voice,
Security, Cabling, and Wireless data services.
Citrix, as most of you probably know, is a leader and one of
the most trusted names in application delivery infrastructure.
More than 200,000 organizations worldwide rely on Citrix to deliver
any application to users anywhere. Citrix customers include 100%
of the Fortune 100 companies and 99% of the Fortune Global 500,
as well as hundreds of thousands of small businesses. Citrix
has approximately 6,200 channel and alliance partners in more
than 100 countries.
John and Joyce will speak about the different ways to access
desktop computers remotely. Spotlighted will be how to deliver
remote desktop applications in a more secure, reliable and cost-effective
manner. Their presentation will illustrate how companies large
and small can help reduce the risk of data loss and aid in navigating
the management complexities of distributed PCs using Citrix XenDesktop.
Total cost of ownership may be lessened by as much as 40% as
well.
Citrix’s server virtualization product XenServer will
also be explored. This product enables companies to deploy high-performance
virtual machines rapidly and easily. Managing them and their
related storage and networking resources is possible from a single
management console.
We will learn about delivering and managing IT infrastructure
by streaming the workload on-demand to physical or virtual servers
from the network with Citrix’s Provisioning Server product.
So anyone who is interested in accessing their computers remotely,
or who has the challenge of providing virtual server environments
will want to attend. This will be an opportunity to get your
questions answered regarding these issue, as well as a look at
some of Citrix’s newest remote solutions.
DACS meetings are held at the Danbury Hospital auditorium. Activities
begin at 6:30 p.m. with registration and casual networking. The
meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. with a discussion of what’s
new in technology (What's News) followed by a general question
and answer period (Ask DACS), announcements and a short break.
The featured evening presentation begins at 8:00.
As a reminder, our General Meetings are free and open to the
public so invite anyone you know who would be interested in this
topic.
