Abstract

What do you say when a user asks you why your university doesn't have a license for product xxx? To address the need to make high cost statistical and mathematical Windows software titles available to the maximum number of researchers, a Citrix Presentation Server was installed and concurrent use licenses for multiple software products were licensed and configured. Citrix Presentation Server is an application delivery system. The applications are installed and managed on the server which we named app2go. The end-users can access the applications from any location via clients on the Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. The target audience is researchers and graduate students. For Mac and Linux users, titles only available on the Windows platforms can be used. A group of researchers interested in obtaining access to software available on the app2go server began testing in March 2007. University wide roll out will be the summer of 2007. The expectation is that this Citrix Presentation Server will greatly reduce the overall cost of software for research and significantly increase access to a wider variety of software for researchers.
