Ericom AccessNow™ for Citrix is a pure, HTML5-based RDP client, enabling some versions of Citrix XenApp to deliver Windows applications and desktops to any HTML5-compatible browser on any device, including Chromebooks, iPad / iPhone, Android, RIM Playbook / BlackBerry, Windows PCs, Linux, and Mac and other end-user devices. AccessNow for Citrix adds value to some versions of Citrix XenApp. Citrix Receiver for HTML5 only works on Windows devices, Macs and Chromebooks, and only when using Citrix XenApp version 6 and up, whereas AccessNow supports Citrix XenApp version 4.5 and higher – no upgrades required.
- Supports published desktops and applications from Citrix XenApp servers.
- Compatible with some earlier versions of Citrix XenApp as far back as XenApp 4.5 (Presentation Server), removing the immediate need to upgrade to Citrix XenApp version 6.
- Provides the same functionality on all supported platforms
- Comes with Ericom SSL Secure Gateway (no SSL VPN deployment needed)
- Works smoothly with existing SSL VPNs (in case the organization already deployed an SSL VPN), and does not require installing an SSL VPN client which mandates admin rights on the user device

- Leverages the HTML5 canvas to display a remote PC desktop, taking full advantage of WebSocket, AJAX, JSON and HTML5 technologies
