34 REMOTE ACCESS GUIDE PAGE 34 REMOTE ACCESS EXPLAINED At MoFo, the Remote Access Team spends a great deal of time developing and optimizing our Remote Access Environment. 1. How does Remote Access work? When you connect to MoFo you are presented with a webpage that shows you Citrix Desktops and Published Applications. When you click on a published application, a session is on that server as if you just logged into the server itself. For instance, launching Citrix RDP X6 connects to the server hosting the application and creates a profile for you just as if you had connected to a remote desktop. After your profile is built, the application will launch. Once launched, the application will perform better than it would if you had launched it on your local computer. This is because it is being run from a server in the same location as all the other servers hosting your data. 2. Why is it that sometimes when I launch a Citrix session it is fast and sometimes it is not? The main reason is because your profile is being recreated. Profiles are deleted from servers if they are not used for more than three days or you are using a server new to you. Most Remote Desktops have four or more servers in load balancing so there is the potential that even though you were on server A the next time you login you might get server B which has to again build your profile. Profiles are deleted every three days to keep the server performing at an optimal level. 3. Are there things I can do to my home computer improve performance? Yes, on your local computer you can do the following before going to Close all other applications. 3.2 Minimize the Applications that startup automatically on start up. 1) PC: Click on Start > Run and type msconfig at the prompt. Click on the startup tab and uncheck applications you don t want to launch at startup. (Be careful not to disable your anti-virus program) Restart your computer to apply the changes.
