In a move announced by time, has released Citrix XenApp 5.0 Feature Pack, which is actually not a new product, but a new licensing policy that introduces interesting new users in the editions XenApp Advanced, Enterprise and Platinum.

XenApp 5.0 Feature Pack continues to be based substantially on the previous product, but requires updating some components and the installation of other new features. But let's see what it is.

All versions "earn" the Application Streaming, the Workflow Studio Orchestration and client licenses for EasyCall (product integration with VoIP PBX). The Enterprise and Platinum versions receive the Profile Management and Load Testing Services, and single sign-on and provisioning features are relegated to the Platinum version. Of course, all seasoned on the availability of free XenServer edition.

The Application Streaming has also been updated with version 1.3 of the client and version 1.3.1 of the Profiler, as well as the Access Management Console requires the updating of some snap-in ( Access Management Console Presentation Server Extension 4.6.3 - English ).

If it is true that many of the features require additional dedicated infrastructure, it is also true that give added value quite significantly. EasyCall, for example, requires a dedicated (available or virtual), but allows for integration with IP PBX vendors that major happens more frequently with customers to find, not just enterprise customers.

This new update is available as always for all users with active Subscription Advantage contract to March 9, 2009. To download simply ascertained MyCitrix the site with the appropriate credentials.
