ICA
The Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) is a general-purpose distributed presentation
services architecture. ICA is network protocol used by Windows based servers running Citrix
MetaFrame XP Presentation Sever, Metaframe, or WinFrame. The ICA technology shifts the
application processing from client to server. It is a core technology of Citrix MetaFrame server-based
computing software. ICA helps organizations reduce total cost of ownership by delivering business-
critical applications over heterogeneous computing environments. It also safeguards application
performance, data security, and administrative control. The ICA protocol sends only keystrokes, mouse
clicks, and screen update signals across the network. Applications consume just a fraction of the
network bandwidth usually required.
You can create, configure and run two types of ICA sessions: server connectins and published
applications:
Server connections allow user to connect to a specific computer running MetaFrame Presentation
Server. Users can run any aplications available on the desktop, and in any order.
Published applications are specific applications set up by an administrator for remote users to run.
When connected, users are presented with the application itself.
The following procedure describes hot to create connections to computers running MetaFrame
Presentation Server.
