Jetro's products were developed to let the industry deliver more fully on the promise of server-based computing and to allow enterprises greater customization in how and with what products they deploy server-based computing solutions.

Jetro's advantage in server-based computing technology derives from our original
Integrated Network Architecture® technology (INA®). INA® is capable of managing and controlling applications whether they are deployed over Citrix ICA ®, Microsoft RDP®, HTTP, or launched locally on a user's PC.

The following are controlled by INA® as independent objects:

Clients

• Users
• Workstations
• User groups
• User Profiles

Business rules

• Schedules
• Permissions
• Security policies
• Connection policies

Resources

• Servers
• Applications
• Application groups
• Domains

Objects are defined independently, but can be associated with other objects using a user- friendly graphic interface.

Benefits of INA®
The following is a short list of the benefits of INA® technology:

• Management of Mixed Environments. INA® allows organizations to move gradually to a server-based computing environment. Jetro’s products can deliver and manage material and applications from local PCs as easily as they deliver server-based applications. INA® allows Jetro products to centrally manage the following types of applications and information:

  Server-based computing. Servers in a Jetro CockpIT™ environment can deliver content and applications in RDP® or ICA® transfer protocols.
  HTTP. Users can access Web and intranet-based material through their server-based computing portal.
  Local applications. Even applications on users’ local computer can be managed by the Jetro CockpIT™ Server.

• Convenience. INA® gives administrators a web-based graphic interface to manage and monitor applications, workstations, users, and other network resources. The interface was designed to be user friendly and give administrators maximum control over the computing environment.
  
• Faster Application Deployment. INA’s modular design allows administrators to re-use schemes for formatting, preferences and configuration. A single configuration scheme can be associated with dozens of applications or hundreds of users and user groups. This saves time and reduces opportunities for error.
  
• Panoramic Reporting. Because INA® lets administrators manage applications from the Web and local computer, administrators can monitor usage of local, Web and server-based applications. Jetro CockpIT™ reports can be analyzed in Microsoft Excel, most database programs, and most billing systems.

Configuration Tools

The following is a list of tools that INA® makes possible:

• Security Configuration. INA® allows you to create modular lists of users and groups to permit or prohibit from accessing an application. Each list, called a Security Policy, can be re-used and associated with any application. Security policies are defined as "Allow " or "Restrict". A "Restrict" Policy prohibits selected users and groups from accessing an application. An "Allow" Policy gives selected users and groups access to an application.
  
• Scheduling. Administrators can define the times of day and days of the week when an application will be available. Like security policies, schedules are modular and can be re-used and associated with any number of applications.
  
• Delivery Configuration. INA® allows an administrator to designate the server and path on which an application will run. Administrators can identify which server will serve which application and how each application will be accessed on that server.
  

Reporting Tools

INA® allows administrators to monitor use of Web, intranet, server-based, and local applications. The following is a list of INA’s reporting tools:

• Effective User Rights. Administrators can view a list of all of the applications that a user can access just by clicking on the user’s name. Administrators do not need to logon with a username to find out what applications a user can access. Similarly, administrators can easily view what users are in a group and the applications that every group member can access.
  
• Real-Time Monitoring. View all of the activity on all of the servers, including usernames, applications, servers and more. This information can be queried by server, application or username.
  
• Reporting. An event is recorded by the reporting service every time that a user requests a session from the Jetro CockpIT™ Server. Events are saved in XML format and an administrator can view and query this data. Queries can be exported as comma separated text files (CSVs) and can be viewed with most database programs, billing systems, and Microsoft Excel.

INA® gives Jetro CockpIT™ flexibility and makes network configuration fast and convenient.
