Compuware- A Solution Partner Member of the Citrix accessPARTNER Network

Application connectivity has undergone a significant transformation since the days of 3270 CRTs. No longer are users bound to their office networks; they have alternatives. Hardware companies offer various technologies to communicate with back-end systems remotely. Software firms are creating solutions that leverage the "connect anywhere from anywhere" methodology. However, one requirement has not changed: users still demand the same reliability, availability, scalability and performance they receive for "connected" environments. To that end, organizations have created very elaborate and complex connectivity architectures to satisfy these requirements.

The Citrix Access Suite provides IT organizations a battle-tested architecture for building a single and comprehensive Access Strategy. Citrix Presentation Server becomes the plumbing linking users to their applications, thereby reducing the complexity of the application access infrastructure.

Compuware provides solutions to help organizations demonstrate that application scalability, reliability, availability and performance for Citrix-enabled applications meet or exceed required service levels. As a Solution Partner Member within the Citrix accessPARTNER Network, Compuware is committed to providing IT organizations comprehensive solutions that demonstrate the value of the Citrix Access Suite platform.

Comprehensive tools for Windows device driver development

Rapidly changing hardware devices and operating systems require the constant development of new and updated device drivers. At the same time, there is a shortage of highly trained driver developers. The only solution is to use available development resources more efficiently to write, debug, test and fine-tune quality driver code.

DriverStudio, with its driver development tools, can help accomplish just that by promoting the development of high-quality, structured drivers while accelerating the development life cycle. And, to make development even easier, DriverStudio now integrates with the Visual Studio .NET integrated development environment as well as with Visual Studio 6 through the new DriverStudio DriverWorkbench technology environment.

DriverStudio supports driver development for Microsoft Windows-based drivers running on both 32-bit and 64-bit environments and can be used to validate functionality for application drivers developed for the Citrix Access Suite platform.
