Abstract

Citrix Systems, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to produce a Total Cost of Application Ownership (TCA) white paper which presents an in-depth and logical look into analyzing the costs of providing networked applications to users in today’s complex, Internet-driven computing environments. More focused on an application-specific view than simply PC hardware costs, this white paper considers the type of network computing architecture employed, the location of users, the variety of connectivity options and the different types of client devices. This white paper explores the true cost of providing applications for three computing models including: traditional desktop, client/server and Citrix® Independent Computing Architecture (ICA®).

This is the User Guide for using the TCA calculator.

See report #199503 for the full report and document #199508 to download the actual Excel sheet containing the calculator.
