Some of the key features available in this upcoming release of Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 are:
Avaiable in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions
Health Monitoring & Recovery – Monitors the health of many Presentation Server components and reports any failures instantly. If a component fails, it can be configured to trigger an action to the server.
Configuration logging – Logs any changes made to the farm to a database and provides reporting capabilities.
Non-administrator client installation – Allows end users without administrative rights to install a client.
SpeedScreen Progressive Display – Provides an aggressive compression algorithm for graphic-intensive applications, through a connection policy, to improve the performance and responsiveness of these applications.
Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) support – Extends the value of Microsoft’s Active Directory and Identity Federation technology by allowing Presentation Server-hosted applications to participate in federation trusts. Without Citrix, ADFS can only be used with Web Applications.
Application streaming – Provides applications to be packaged and delivered to Presentation Server without having to install them in every server.
