Solutions ME assists one of the subsidiaries of Emirates group with the deployment of Citrix Access Gateway

With headquarters in Dubai the client is a subsidiary of Emirates Group and has operations across entire GCC.

The users in different branch offices across GCC were remotely connecting to business applications hosted in Dubai. With traditional VPN technology and connection facilitated through ADSL links, these remote users were encountering slow access to applications, and thus slumping productivity was a major concern. The client was therefore seeking a solution which could accelerate the access to applications globally, along with strict user security.

Solutions ME, the most trusted technology partner in Middle East recommended the client to install Citrix Access Gateway. Citrix Access Gateway is a secure application access solution that provides administrators granular application-level control while empowering users with access from anywhere. It gives IT administrators a single point of control to manage access and actions based on both the user and the endpoint device, providing better risk, security and compliance management.

Post the deployment of this solution the client is experiencing fast access to hosted applications through a secure 128 bit encrypted channel over SSL VPN on low bandwidth. The solution has brought down application management cost by 50% and equipped the organization with enhanced application security at granular level. Some other benefits include:

• Mobile and offline, round the clock accessibility to applications from any distant location
• Single point of control for IT administrators to manage and supervise access levels
• Achieve reliability and scalability from one to more than 10,000 concurrent users per application
