CITRIX ANNOUNCES WINFRAME FOR NETWORKS

The First Enterprise Platform for Remote Windows Computing

NEW YORK (JUNE 20, 1995) - Citrix Systems, Inc. today introduced WinFrame
for Networks, the first software to provide a scalable, secure and
manageable platform for remote Windows computing across enterprise
networks.

Incorporating Windows NT Server core technology, WinFrame for Networks
solves the full range of enterprise-scale remote computing problems,
including high-performance dial-in LAN access, simple deployment of
Windows applications to branch office sites, and manageable delivery of
client/server applications anywhere in the enterprise network.

"Enterprise remote computing is more than just remote access," said Edward
Iacobucci, Chairman of Citrix Systems, Inc. "WinFrame for Networks is a
remote computing platform. It's the only product that provides the depth
and breadth needed to deliver any Windows application to any remote user
in the enterprise."

With WinFrame for Networks, applications run where their performance is
optimized. This allows an enterprise to efficiently deliver a wide mix of
personal productivity, workgroup, client/server and other
business-critical applications to a broad group of remote users--with a
single, integrated software solution.

"WinFrame for Networks is the kind of industrial-strength, remote Windows
computing platform that complements the Microsoft BackOffice product
family," said Paul Maritz, Group Vice President, Platforms Group, for
Microsoft Corporation's Systems Division. "Our BackOffice products enable
rapid development of business-critical applications, while WinFrame for
Networks gives customers more options for widespread and efficient
application deployment."

WinFrame for Networks Debuts ICA 3.0

WinFrame for Networks includes version 3.0 of the Citrix Intelligent
Console Architecture (ICA). ICA is the industry's first general-purpose
Windows presentation services protocol and is rapidly becoming the
technology backbone for distributed Windows computing. To promote ICA as
an industry-standard technology, Citrix is broadly licensing it to
independent hardware and software vendors. Ultimately, ICA will enable a
variety of new Windows application markets to emerge.

"ICA offers tremendous benefits for customers and the industry," said
Microsoft's Paul Maritz. "ICA will enable the interactive use of 32-bit
Windows applications on the Internet, wireless devices, low-cost
terminals, Macintosh PCs or X-terminals."

A Complete Solution for Enterprise Remote Computing Dilemmas

WinFrame's unique local-remote transparency lets mobile professionals and
telecommuters easily dial-in and access groupware and corporate
applications with optimal performance and convenience. Local-remote
transparency is an exciting new concept that renders today's remote
node/remote control debates obsolete because it seamlessly combines these
functions. With the simple click of an icon, remote users can launch
multiple Windows and DOS applications, running locally and remotely, and
may never notice where applications execute or where they get their data.

Branch office and WAN-linked users gain high-performance access to
business-critical and legacy applications over low-cost switched or
dedicated connections, such as ISDN, switched 56/64 or even dial-up. For
example, WinFrame for Networks allows a single ISDN basic-rate connection
to support up to 10 on-line branch office users.

WinFrame for Networks also allows World Wide Web and Internet connectivity
to be securely distributed to dial-in and LAN-based users with negligible
network disruption. Without running client-side TCP/IP protocol stacks,
desktop PCs seamlessly access Internet servers through Windows-based web
browsers that actually execute on the WinFrame server. This ''firewalls''
the network from inbound Internet traffic and potential breaches in
LAN/WAN security.

A Complete, Scalable Remote Computing Platform

WinFrame for Networks can scale to accommodate hundreds of concurrent users
with its robust enterprise features, such as Symmetrical Multiprocessing
Platform (SMP) support and integrated domain management.

For example, a standard Intel server easily handles up to 15 concurrent
users, while a four-way 60-MHz Pentium SMP server supports up to 60
simultaneous Microsoft Office users. WinFrame for Networks includes a rich
set of multi-level, C-2 compliant security features, such as secured
authentication and data encryption. The product also supplies a full suite
of end-to-end Windows-based management utilities that permit full system
administration from any local or remote PC.

WinFrame's ICA-based client software works seamlessly with DOS, Windows,
Windows 95 and Windows NT desktops, allowing even DOS users to tap the
power of 16- and 32-bit Windows applications. WinFrame for Networks
integrates tightly with both Microsoft NT and Novell NetWare networks and
supports popular network protocols, such as IPX, SPX, TCP/IP, NetBEUI,
NetBIOS, and PPP. The server accepts connections through standard
telephone lines, wide area network links (T1, Frame Relay, ISDN, ATM), or
the Internet.

"WinFrame for Networks supplies you with a complete toolbox--not just a
hammer-for solving complex enterprise remote computing problems,"
explained Willie Lee, Systems Engineer for Chevron Information Technology.
"It is a long-term solution that provides the necessary flexibility to
grow with our ever-changing enterprise needs."

As the first enterprise remote computing platform, WinFrame for Networks is
rapidly gaining the endorsement of many remote access vendors. This
broad-based support gives Citrix customers maximum flexibility to create a
wide variety of remote computing solutions. WinFrame for Networks is
compatible with the industry's most popular remote node servers, including
Novell NetWare Connect, Attachmate RLN, Microsoft RAS and Shiva LAN Rover.
