Abstract

Acresso Software, Inc. and Citrix Systems, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to illustrate the benefits of implementing Acresso’s AdminStudio packaging solution with Citrix XenApp™ as implemented using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5.

Tolly Group engineers used the Profiler, the packaging tool built into the application streaming feature of XenApp, to provide a baseline for virtualized application packaging preparation time for a number of common enterprise applications. Engineers then implemented Acresso AdminStudio and used the solution to prepare the same applications for streaming to quantify the benefits that Acresso can bring to system administrators deploying streaming applications in a Citrix XenApp virtual delivery environment.

Tests were conducted in July 2008.
