Citrix MDX

I've seen the MDX demo @ Citrix Synergy @ Barcelona….Again Citrix has come up with another innovative mobile solution….Citrix keep proving that they are one of the pioneer in architecting Mobile Enterprise Solutions.

Here are few things about MDX:

MDX Technologies uses four below technologies to provide native mobile applications to the windows applications through Citrix cloud gateway solutions.

• MDX App Vault - is a secure native mobile app container technology that separates mobile enterprise apps and data from personal apps and data on any mobile device. This allows IT to remotely manage, control, lock and wipe the critical business apps and data they care about.
• MDX Web Connect - is a secure mobile browser technology that makes it easy for IT to deliver internal corporate web apps, HTML5 mobile web apps and external SaaS apps to mobile devices with a dedicated browser instance for each app.
• MDX Micro VPN - is the industry's first app-specific secure access technology that lets IT create a secure VPN tunnel for mobile and web apps accessing the company's internal network from personal mobile devices.

• MDX Policy Orchestration - provides granular policy-based control over native mobile and HTML5 apps based on factors such as the type of device, type of network, user passcode, login frequency, and whether or not a device has been jail-broke

There are two products that is important from the CITRIX MDX Technologies:

• @WorkWeb

• @WorkMail

With these two applications Citrix has provided the flexibility to the mobile users to get native email client experience and facility to access the intranet contents securely on any mobile device based on corporate policies….this is really great thing….I'm sure all the corporate securities love this kind of ability to deliver and control emails and contents….

Here are the actual components involved in design this solution:

• XenApp 6.5 FP

• Mobile pack for 6.5
• Cloud Gateway

• Citrix Receiver

I'll post the implementation best practices in my next blog
