Thin Client Software
Serval offers complementary software solutions as part of its end-to-end server based computing strategy.

Citrix
Building an End-to-End Architectural Solution for On-Demand Access
To connect information demand with information supply, the Citrix Access Platform provides an end-to-end architecture for on-demand access—a flexible and modular architecture that plays well with others, including your existing IT environment, in all its heterogeneity, and that can be purchased in products and packages as your access needs grow and evolve and can be tailored to your particular business and IT layout.
