New Citrix Branch Repeater Uses ISA Server
Citrix has announced the availability of the new Citrix Branch Repeater, an "all-in-one" device for delivering applications to branch offices. The Citrix Branch Repeater was developed jointly with Microsoft, and uses Microsoft ISA Server 2006 Web caching to accelerate delivery of web content to the branch. ISA Server 2006 helps branch office users easily and securely access the Internet or corporate-based resources.
