New features of Citrix MetaFrame for UNIX Operating Systems include support for the latest version of Citrix NFuse(TM) application portal software, SSL Encryption, the latest compression and persistent caching techniques, as well as the ability to connect to applications using large resolutions and up to 16 million colors.

"We're committed to continually improving the features and functionality of MetaFrame for UNIX in order to reach more of the enterprise marketplace with the benefits of server-based computing." "The increased display resolution and color depths in MetaFrame 1.1 for UNIX enable our clients to use high-resolution CAD and engineering tools from any location without sacrificing application performance or consuming additional bandwidth," stated Rollin Carlblom, director of Internet operations, Idea Center.
