When should I use ICA® and when should
I use RDP®?
The question is relevant only if you purchase
Jetro CockpIT and Jetro BoostIT
together. Consider the following when deciding which product
is right for you:
- How many ICA® licenses do you own? Keep in mind
that the ICA® licensing scheme is based on concurrent
users.
- How many RDP® licenses do you own? Note that RDP®
is licensed by device, not by concurrent user.
- Do you have applications that operate better on one
of the protocols than on the other?
- Do you have users that use one protocol more than
the other?
Keep in mind that the same application can be delivered
using each or both protocols. Keep in mind that a user
can have some applications delivered in one protocol and
some in the other protocol.

to launch an application?
No. Jetro's DirectLINK ™ technology enables you
to create shortcuts to remote applications on the user
desktop or in the local Windows Start menu.
What do I have to install on the client
workstation? How do I distribute applications to all of
the users?
Each workstation must have Microsoft® Internet Explorer
5 or above installed. Jetro CockpIT/BoostIT
client software downloads automatically when the user
attempts to launch an application for the first time.
There is no need to go to each station physically. Client
software upgrades are downloaded automatically to the
user's computer when they become available.
We use NAT - some users see the server
in one IP while others see a different one. Does Jetro
CockpIT support both networks at the same time?
The Jetro CockpIT system fully
supports different IP addresses or server names. Using
a NAT does not reduce the system's capability nor does
it lower system performance.
Does Jetro Platforms support remote access
to a server-based network?
YES! Jetro CockpIT supports any kind of Virtual Private
Network (VPN) solution including Citrix Secured Gateways
(only available with Jetro BoostIT), Checkpoint VPN, and
Netilla along with many others.
Jetro Client supports RDP & ICA built-in encryption
and Jetro Client's negotiation protocol supports SSL*.
Terminal servers can be configured to communicate with
remote users using NAT IP addresses or local/internal
addresses for LAN users. User Profiles, a new feature
in Jetro CockpIT Version 3.0, allows users to choose whether
to communicate using NAT IP addresses or local/internal
addresses.
* Requires Microsoft CA service,
