Citrix to showcase 'access technology' at GITEX 2005

Focusing on the importance of "access" (the ability to securely and simply reach IT applications and data, anywhere, on any device, over any network), Citrix will showcase its center-piece solution - the Citrix Access Suite 4.0 along with other access products at the leading technology event this year.

Working with strategic distribution partner, Mindware, Citrix will be presenting its range of access solutions at the Mindware stand (room 4) at GITEX 2005. The Citrix suite of products will also be on display and demonstrated at leading partner stalls including Emirates Computers, Seven Seas, Solutions Middle East and other reseller partners. Currently, Citrix has 52 resellers across the Middle East, with plans to add more resellers to address specific markets and verticals.

Speaking on Citrix's participation in GITEX 2005, Antoine Aguado, Regional Manager, Citrix Systems ME remarked: "GITEX is definitely an important occasion for us to come closer to our customers in the Middle East. This is undoubtedly the most important week on the IT event calendar and we look forward to showcasing our latest products and solutions for the growing market for access technology in the Middle East at GITEX 2005."

"Be it in educational institutions or government, there is a clear need for uninterrupted, secure access in each and every industry. Citrix delivers the simplest, most secure form of remote access to important applications and data through its range of products. There are also different dimensions to the advantages on offer through the Citrix access strategy, including security, lower bandwidth costs, quick ROI on IT investments and many more. We definitely look forward to increasing market awareness levels at GITEX 2005," added Aguado.

With user numbers touching half a million in the Middle East alone, Citrix is playing a pivotal role in providing innovative access solutions for enterprise applications in the Middle East.
