“CenterBeam’s preëminent value is Customer First,” said Kevin Francis, president and chief executive officer of CenterBeam. “Many of CenterBeam’s customers are so pleased with our PC infrastructure management that they’ve asked us to extend our support to their Citrix servers and clients. And as Citrix continues to build its market success, more and more of our prospects are requesting our support. CenterBeam is answering this call for support by extending our enterprise-class management service to the Citrix Access Platform.” 

CenterBeam uses its sophisticated tools, deployed and managed by its experienced engineering staff, to monitor Citrix servers around the clock. Servers are kept up-to-date and performing at maximum efficiency. CenterBeam managed every aspect of Citrix servers, from configuration and performance to fault management. This same approach is applied to Citrix clients. The people using Citrix systems are supported by CenterBeam’s Express Access team of engineers and technicians. For CenterBeam clients that run both Citrix and Microsoft platforms, CenterBeam is a single point of responsibility that simplifies overall management of the IT infrastructure.
