How does citrix server works and what is the use of citrix developer network?

Pretty broad question. Basically citrix architecture uses a "front" end and "back end" server concept to deliver secure applications to remote (internet) users.





The "front end" server is usually a web server that sits outside a corporate firewall that you can browse to via port 443 (a secure https:// connection). This webserver then establishes a secured tunnel through its firewall using other (proprietary) ports to the application servers, sitting inside the corporate firewall, that the remote users want to access.





These can be almost anything based upon the requirements the designers had in mind when they built it. Could be a sharepoint, or file server, database, or any application server.





Pasted below is a link to one of the product pages on the citrix website that can give you some ideas of how you can use it.
