What is a Vpn Connection

sitting After a whirlwind week at MWC 2016, I'm at the airport in Barcelona and take stock of the mind-blowing amount of technology - and opportunity - that I have experienced in the last days

I have not visited MWC for a few years, and I was the last time there, it was definitely a touch of "speeds and feeds." - The, considering the origin of the event, is not surprising. Historically MWC has been on telcos and those who Telcos for sale. now no longer

.

Perhaps the most surprising difference was this time demographic to the participants. is no longer this event focuses only cellular and carrier infrastructure, it's core and to tarnish everything to consumer devices to 5G to SDN / NFV for the safety of the transition to the Internet of Things to applications everything in between ,

I saw more business people than ever before and everyone was talking about how to bring together sustainable technologies and services business to accelerate transformation -. in all sectors

My takeaway from the event that there is a very real and tangible change in the air.

I met with many of our key technology partners. The discussions that we had turned to aggregate for the most part, to offer the collective focus on the new company business models on the value chain upward and differentiated services that have traditionally been left to the customer to purchase, and consume.

Make no mistake: we see no slowing down the development of new technologies. With this formation, however, a significantly faster rate of maturation comes against a shortening lifespan. This forces the hands of many suppliers and require them to rethink and realign portfolios. Since the previously separate areas network and application converge, this will lead to many new possibilities - and it is indeed very exciting

At Citrix, we have doubled our core technologies recently -. A solution set that has helped the economic use for two decades the power -. and we will continue to be

both a reliable partner for many customers and suppliers we are uniquely positioned solution- about NetScaler, XenApp / XenDesktop, XenMobile to offer, XenServer and Citrix Share File-that span network and application domains with a clear focus on security as a fundamental tenant the more conversations I had at MWC, the clearer it became - .. we really a brand new phase

When Bell law applies today (about 44 years after it first appeared), it can still be stated that in iT, the dominant platform 10 years or so all shifts.

about 10 years it is since the advent of cloud technology, as we know it today. The mood is I got from MWC, transformations that the convergence of technologies in tempo occur and coupled with unstoppable force with a focus on application delivery business to drive could still be the best indication that the platform to develop about again.

is not to be the ride. Jump, buckle up, we go.

Our focus is on sustainable growth in industries that require a secure, business-class file sharing solution. This is why we are thrilled our latest safety and compliance review are to share :. The service organization Control (SOC) 2, Type 2 report

The SOC 2 report third backup provides that the design of Citrix Share File, and our internal processes and controls, the SOC-2 meet standards for security, availability, confidentiality and data protection.

How customers can use the SOC 2 Audit Use

audit reports as SOC 2, are often used by customers in regulated industries (eg Banking, Finance, Insurance and Healthcare) in the compliance and security policies required.

Citrix Share File, like other cloud providers, working on a shared responsibility model (http://www.sharefile.com/blog/security-and-compliance-part-1/ and http: //www.sharefile.com/blog/cloud-compliance-security-part -2 /).

Our SOC 2 report provides their clients with independently verified assurance that the system Share File stringent audit requirements met by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The SOC 2 report is the de facto Assurance standard for cloud service providers.

What we know so far with a Skype for Business in a Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop environment?

1. the same experience: the Citrix RealTime Optimization Pack for Skype for Business offers the same experience in a RDS / VDI implementation than traditional PC deployment
2. hybrid deployment. Citrix RealTime Optimization Pack for Skype for Business offers the same experience regardless of whether both user RDS / VDI to be executed or only one user at RDS / VDI and the other on a conventional PC
3. Conference Calling: Citrix realtime optimization Pack for Skype for Business offers the same experience in a 3 -way or multi-party call

This leads us to the next question, which I have received packet with respect to the optimization .:

we still need an Edge Server with Citrix realTime Optimization Pack for Skype for Business?

As a consultant, one of the most common answers I can be heard at any given question: "It depends." I like to be unique, so I try to avoid the answer is "It depends." My version of this answer is ... "Maybe."

let us first look at a native VDI implementation.

In this case, the Skype for Business Edge server is not used as a Skype client, is on the virtual desktop, which on the internal LAN to the Skype server is. The voice / video also goes between the virtual desktops.

But what happens when we the Citrix RealTime Optimization Pack?

implement

Same situation. The Edge Server is not used, because the SIP communication is done from the virtual desktop to the Skype server, all are located in the internal network. The voice / video is done between the endpoint devices again by the edge server to bypass.

What situations where only one user on a virtual desktop, and the other on a traditional PC?

the traditional PC needs to access the Skype server on the internal network. The Edge server is required to transmit the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), but once the session begins, the voice / video communication occurs directly between the two endpoint devices to bypass the Edge server.

And finally, what 3-way or multi-party calling?

In this scenario, the voice / video will happen the Edge Server on the way into the audio and video conferencing servers.

to answer the question: "Shall we still need an Edge Server with Citrix RealTime Optimization Pack."

Maybe
