We get a lot of great interest in the work area and hub Octoblu that 2 Keynote and again with Brian Madden was shown at the Synergy Day show ground. Brian does a good job to ask the right questions and to explain what he sees (can watch the video here).
The best compliments on the demo were to save users' time and solving everyday business problems that everyone can understand. Also making the Internet of things important to the enterprise ( and Octoblu relevant Citrix) in a compelling new way.
the main new elements of the demo includes workspace Hub software, workspace Hub hardware, modified receiver Plus Octoblu. in addition to the solution as a " workplace future "also includes Citrix products available as XenDesktop, XenMobile, GoToMeeting and Share File.
workspace Hub software [1945005vielebeschreiben]
workspace hub is actually more about the software defined Workspace allows than the stroke of hardware. the operating system of the Workspace Hub is Android, which has been safely administered by XenMobile including the ability chosen to push and run native Android apps locally. The Workspace Hub software includes a new receiver "Extender" app that pairs with receiver on the mobile device and allows the mobile receiver (iOS in the demo but could be Android, Mac or Windows) to the HDX video stream to the hub for redirecting and a virtual channel to divide the hub peripherals. This app is complemented by recipients and Gateblu and a configuration program for easy setup. Octoblu provides workflow and context management of stroke devices, locations, peripherals and user. You can also buy a workspace hub management console for managing expect.
Workspace Hub Hardware
The Workspace Hub an ARM-based full function Android machine for the Workspace solution optimized, for individuals or teams each PC display or conference room TV / projector transforms into an intelligent workspace. The hub can see how other HDMI dongles on the market, but we decided to develop our own, because the existing equipment does not have the properties that we needed. For example, dual Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi Direct, so that direct connections without overloading corporate access points are made. In addition, Dual Bluetooth 4.0 enables flexible peripheral support and IBeacon function. NFC is also easy to allow pairing containing supported devices. included on board of three hours of battery on the go applications along with a VGA adapter and unique male / female HDMI connector. set For typical installations, expect expandable capability for multiple USB ports and RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet.
Auto-connect via IBeacon
The keynote demo included a few new features that captures the audience's attention, with an iPad with receiver with a live session start that a doctor could use his personal office input. In this case, the stroke is assigned to the user (doctor) and the iPad recognizes the IBeacon the hub, then the HDX video session is automatically shifts the virtual desktop on the iPad on the workspace Hub display and the local keyboard and mouse. This is certainly in two seconds without log on, a new authentication or any effort. That's because the session is actually still running on the iPad receiver while the HDX video will now be redirected to the hub. When leaving the office, recognizes the IBeacon the iPad out of range went and transfers it to the iPad the video back.
The two-finger "flick"
When entering the shared workspace conference room (or a patient room or flex desk), the stroke is not associated with a user, but to a place, and you would not want to be connected automatically. In this case, the session on the iPad is running, when the device close approaches to IBeacon Hub, is a message near a stroke. The two-finger "flick" then moves the HDX video to the Hub-enabled television or display in two seconds. A blow down then returns the session on the iPad. In addition, the IBeacon is can also be used here to allow the meeting to move when the user leaves. In the conference room multi-user scenario can alternately "Flicking" their iPad display to the TV / projector.
Octoblu Workspace Automation
workspace automation Ocotoblu to several points of the demo uses and provides the "glue" to integrate everything together (IOE = integration of Everything). When the user first enters the office and the IBeacon recognizes the iPad a Octoblu fires trigger to start a Octoblu workflow breaks to the user Lync Change status / offline, but not only to close online office location. The workflow is also the user printer to the local office location. Similarly, when the user enters the conference room, the Lync status and location is automatically updated and changed the default printer as soon as the display on the TV "Flicked" is. In addition, a number of other actions enabled by Octoblu are:
- The phone rings GoToMeeting audio without fumbling search access numbers
- The conference room IP Camera Start is automatically started and enters the session
- Amazon echo is asked "Alexa, send late memories", and identified Octoblu that late invitees based on Outlook against the GoToMeeting and SMS reminders sends only the late ones ,
At the end of the meeting, the organizer Amazon Echo Commands, "Alexa, End Meeting" and not only that GoToMeeting end, but the record of the meeting has been recorded on Share File and an e-mail link is to all the participants sent.
The demo is a part of the innovation in Citrix goes to show that the existing products uses, together with the power of Octoblu to tie technologies and future potential all along. If you like what you see in the demo, we are interested in your opinion, to define the roadmap and priorities.
