Project GoldenGate

Citrix Labs is exploring three mobile market trends;

• The Micro App: A Micro App is an application purpose-built for completing a focused task on a small form factor touch device. With Smartphones becoming the primary internet access device over the next few years, the Micro App becomes an important productivity tool.
• Secure mobility: Pressure to access corporate information from mobile devices is creating a new generation of security concerns.
• Device independence: Corporate IT is struggling to deliver uniform apps and content to the increasing and fragmented range of mobile device platforms.

As part of this research Citrix Labs is pleased to announce the availability of Project GoldenGate Technology Concept Release. GoldenGate is a prototype Micro App that is designed to address the combination of these three trends. GoldenGate incorporates email, calendaring, contact, and collaboration capabilities into a single Micro App that runs securely in the data center and is delivered to mobile devices by Citrix XenApp.

As this is a new capability for Citrix, we have chosen to assess market interest and opportunity via a Technology Concept Release. As yet, no decisions have been made around commercialization of this technology.

This forum and the goldengate@citrix.com email alias will be closely monitored by the Citrix Labs team.
