ICA is broadly similar in purpose to window servers such as the X Window System.
#Citrix receiver for the mac software#
ICA client software is also built into various thin client platforms. The client platforms need not run Windows for example, there are clients for Mac, Unix, Linux, and various smartphones. Besides Windows, ICA is also supported on a number of Unix server platforms and can be used to deliver access to applications running on these platforms.
These permit ordinary Windows applications to be run on a suitable Windows server, and for any supported client to gain access to those applications. Practical products conforming to ICA are Citrix's WinFrame, Citrix XenApp (formerly called MetaFrame/Presentation Server), and Citrix XenDesktop products. Citrix's ICA is an alternative to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The protocol lays down a specification for passing data between server and clients, but is not bound to any one platform.
Independent Computing Architecture ( ICA) is a proprietary protocol for an application server system, designed by Citrix Systems. ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)
