Managed using enterprise-class suites of software tools designed to lower the time and cost of managing thin client appliances, Neoware thin client appliances enable system administrators to remotely discover, configure, upgrade, and maintain their thin client appliances without traveling from desk to desk.
The APAC Citrix Solution Summit, in its third year, will focus on making the virtual workplace real through remote office connectivity, workforce mobility, business continuity, and application deployment. This event brings together over 500 of Citrix's most strategic resellers and provides the opportunity to network with over 100 CEOs.
