Citrix / Terminal Users / Mobile Workforce
- Use multiple computers
- Primary use computer is a laptop
- Works on the road and from home
- Can’t remember where their files are stored.
- Want the system
to be easier to use.
- Why can’t my files / work follow me from
computer to computer?
- Sometimes I have to use a dial-up in
a hotel.
- I need my work backed up. Just in case.
- I still can’t figure
out how to transfer files from my laptop to Citrix.
- I can’t
email all these files to myself.
Laptop:
- Works disconnected from network
- Stores work on local hard drive
- Fast response to user needs
- No Backup
- No Corporate access
- Transfer to network storage is hard
User wants a fast laptop and files stored on the local hard drive (just
like their personal computer).
IT Department wants to backup files and simplify use of the system.
Can we provide our Citrix users the ability to:
- Create and work on the local drive?
- Transfer files from their laptop
to Citrix via a mapped drive letter? (Easier than FTP)
- Access
to their files if their laptop is lost – stolen – broken
without a support call to IT?
- Not worry about which computer they have
created or modified work on and still find it (without
calling the help desk)?
- Automatically backup their files?
- Automatically transfer their files
to the new computer? (remember their laptop was stolen?)
- (no support call
here either)
- Recover files by Corporate upon loss of employee.
