Summary: In episode 215, Douglas Brown interviews Gabe Carrejo, Product Manager in the Desktop and Apps group at Citrix. Gabe and Douglas discuss the Citrix Remote PC Access technology. Gabe does an amazing job introducing us to the Citrix Remote PC Access solution, what it is, how it works, what it takes to install, why we should care, how they compare and contract vs. the competition, and much more. About Remote PC Access Remote PC Access simplifies and enhances traditional corporate remote access to enterprise PC’s, using Citrix Receiver for the user experience, HDX for the performance, XenDesktop for the management and Netscaler Gateway for the security. Remote PC Access allows an end user to log on remotely to the physical Windows PC in his or her office from virtually anywhere. The Citrix XenDesktop Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) on the office PC enables it to register with the Delivery Controller and manages the HDX connection between the machine and end user client devices. The Citrix Receiver running on the client device provides access to all of the applications and data on the office PC. A user may have multiple desktops, including more than one physical PC or a combination of physical PCs and virtual desktops.
