Folks,
We have a couple of things to add, specifically to the users (and prospective
users) of TScale on this list.
First of all thank you. Jim Kenzig and Jan Broucineck, respectively the owner
of this list, and a prominent member and poster were our first two users.
Through your support of our first version and your counsel with subsequent
versions, you and the other people on this list made TScale what it is today,
THE market leading memory optimization product (with some pretty decent CPU
management thrown in for good measure).
As you can see from the announcement below, the memory optimization technology
in TScale will become incorporated in "future versions of MetaFrame
Presentation Server". What this means is that Citrix has validated the problem
that we solve with memory optimization, and validated that we have the best
solution. So, if you want to put 33% more users on your servers through the use
of the best memory optimization technology, you want wait until Citrix ships
that future version and you find the time to upgrade to it, or you can get it
in the form of TScale now. RTO has a variety of attractive licensing programs
that will ensure that you get an immediate ROI on your TScale investment.
Once again, thank you for all of your continuing support and enthusiasm, The
nicest thing about being here at iForum (I am typing this from our booth at the
show), is seeing our customers come into our booth and tell our prospects that
"Our product does what we say it does". That is a compliment that we will
continue to strive to live up to as our product line evolves.
Please see our web site for more information about the announcement, and some
hints as to what is coming up next.
Best Regards,
Bernd Harzog

Citrix Licenses CPU and Memory Optimization Technologies from Aurema and RTO
Software
Technologies Improve Performance and End-User Access Experiences for Citrix
MetaFrame Presentation Server Customers
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - 10/4/2004 - Today at Citrix iForum(tm) Global 2004,
Citrix Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS), the global leader in access infrastructure
solutions, announced that it has licensed two technologies from Aurema Inc. and
RTO Software Inc. The technologies improve server performance and enhance an
end-user's access experience by optimizing processor use and virtual memory in
Citrix® MetaFrame® Presentation Server deployments.
To increase IT efficiency and cost-effectiveness, enterprises need to provide
access to more and more critical business applications while concurrently
increasing the number of end-users supported by each server. These demands,
however, can lead to impaired system performance. By licensing these workload
and memory optimization technologies, Citrix will help enterprises maximize the
performance of their existing hardware and software and still give employees
the secure, easy and instant on-demand access they require.
Aurema's workload management technology will be incorporated into future
versions of MetaFrame Presentation Server to optimize usage of system CPU and
improve overall server performance and scalability. By ensuring consistent,
adequate allocation of processor resources between users, applications, and the
operating system, Aurema technology protects against operating system
starvation and prevents any user or program from adversely affecting the
performance of another on a shared server.
"We are pleased that Citrix has selected Aurema's workload management
technology to improve the performance, quality of service, and scalability of
future versions of its MetaFrame Presentation Server," said Mark Wright,
president and chief executive officer for Aurema. "By licensing our
industry-leading CPU workload management technology, Citrix is demonstrating a
commitment to its customers to provide them with the same Quality of Service
and Total Cost of Ownership benefits that Aurema's large installed base
experiences today."
RTO's memory optimization technology will be incorporated in future versions of
MetaFrame Presentation Server to allow IT administrators to support more end
users with existing MetaFrame Presentation Server farms, thereby reducing the
need to purchase new servers or scaling out existing environments. More end
users per server means organizations can reduce server hardware expenditures
and increase usage and consistency in MetaFrame Presentation Server
installations.
"Since October 2001, RTO has delivered its ground-breaking memory optimization
technology, typically allowing customers to add significantly more users per
server," said Kevin Goodman, chief executive officer of RTO Software. "We are
pleased that Citrix has selected the TScale approach to increase scalability on
MetaFrame Presentation Server with this licensing arrangement. Citrix's large
installed base of customers will see an immediate benefit from our technology
in the form of improved server memory capacity and performance."
The combined benefits of these two new technologies mean enterprises will be
better able to leverage existing IT infrastructure investments, generate a
quicker return on all their MetaFrame Presentation Server-delivered
applications and content, and deliver higher-quality access experiences to
greater numbers of users.
"Improving the total cost of ownership for customers of Citrix's access
infrastructure solutions is a continuing focus," said Tony Marzulli, senior
vice president product and demand marketing at Citrix Systems Inc. "By adding
more users per server and optimizing system performance we are demonstrably
improving the value that MetaFrame Presentation Server brings to our customers.
After evaluating the top technologies in this space, we selected Aurema and RTO
Software - both proven market and technical leaders - in order to improve the
performance and end-user experience for our MetaFrame Presentation Server
customers."
