Visioconférence dans bureau distant Xenapp: local app access ?

Bonjour,



J’aimerais mettre en place de la visioconférence dans mon entreprise, mais tous nos sites distants sont en “bureau distant” sur Citrix Xenapp 6.0, connectés depuis des machines “vides” contenant juste le Citrix Receiver (des pc hors-domaine, en winxp ou w7)

Je ne pense pas que la visio puisse fonctionner correctement en lançant dans les sessions Citrix l’application installée sur les serveurs Citrix, pour des questions de ressources serveurs, de débit, et d’accès à la webcam du client (à moins que …?)



Je vois qu’en Xenapp 6.5 il y’a la possibilité de lancer “dans le bureau Citrix” une application installée localement sur le client:

Integrating Local User Applications in Hosted Environments

Businesses work with a variety of applications on a day-to-day basis, many of which are

installed on individual workstations. Businesses working with Citrix Service Providers

(CSPs) might want the CSP to host certain locally installed applications to be accessed

remotely.
However, the following reasons might prevent the CSP from successfully

hosting these applications:

Licensing restrictions

Some applications have licensing agreements that allow them to run only on

workstations and cannot be hosted.

Connectivity requirements

Some applications need to access local devices such as bar code scanners or card

readers in order to function.

Scaling restrictions

Resource-intensive applications such as video conferencing or CAD/CAM software are

difficult to host efficiently.


Hardware or integration requirements

Some applications are tied to hardware markers such as MAC addresses or are

integrated into other corporate infrastructure such as telephony.

As well, businesses who host certain applications through their own XenApp

environment might not be able to work with a CSP due to security concerns or

regulatory compliance issues.

Introducing Local App Access

Local App Access enables CSPs to integrate subscribers’ locally installed applications as

well as self-hosted applications within a CSP-hosted desktop environment. Subscribers

can access in one place local applications that would otherwise be costly or timeconsuming

to host and applications that must be accessed in a highly secure manner.

When a subscriber logs on to a hosted desktop, the desktop displays shortcuts to locally

installed applications and subscriber-hosted applications. When a subscriber launches a

locally-installed application, it runs on the subscriber’s workstation but appears to the

subscriber to run on the hosted desktop.
Likewise, when a subscriber launches a selfhosted

application, it runs within the subscriber’s XenApp environment but appears to

the subscriber on the hosted desktop.

With Local App Access, CSPs can bring subscribers onboard more quickly and

subscribers can continue using the applications their businesses depend on alongside

their own hosted applications.

Avant de migrer en 6.5, je demande votre avis, est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà essayé cette fonctionnalité ? :o

Question “débit”, est-ce que le flux vidéo va devoir transiter entre le client et le serveur citrix pour s’afficher dans la session, ou bien la fenêtre vidéo prends ses données directement depuis le client local ? (je suppose que c’est la deuxième solution, sinon ça serait encore pire avec cette fonctionnalité…)



Merci :smiley:
