Citrix Systems Highlights Hurricane Preparedness Through Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Solutions; Affected Businesses Benefit With Secure, Remote Access to Applications and Data.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- With the 2006 hurricane season starting today, businesses looking to be prepared for the worst are increasingly turning to disaster recovery solutions that prevent business systems failure while keeping employees working and productive in the event of office damage. Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS) is urging all businesses that may be affected during this year's hurricane season to consider the benefits of a centralized application virtualization solution that protects data while allowing secure, remote access to applications needed for uninterrupted business operations.

According to the National Hurricane Center, 2006 will be a "very active" hurricane season with up to 16 named storms including six major hurricanes. On average, the North Atlantic hurricane season produces 11 named storms, with six becoming hurricanes, two of them considered potentially catastrophic. In 2005, the Atlantic hurricane season brought a record 28 storms, including 15 hurricanes. Seven were considered major, and a record four hit the United States.

Many organizations rely on Citrix access solutions to ensure business and workforce continuity in the event of such disasters. For example, the March of Dimes, a charitable organization with a dispersed network of locations, employees and volunteers, initially turned to Citrix for centralized, secure, cost-effective application deployment and on-demand access for remote users. And although Citrix's disaster recovery capabilities were a part of the organization's decision to deploy Citrix, live experience demonstrated how instrumental these capabilities are in managing through disasters.

"Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma were devastating blows to most organizations with offices in affected areas, and really taught us the tremendous value in business continuity and disaster recovery solutions," said Alan Kauffman, CIO, March of Dimes. "Because we had deployed Citrix technology to centralize and secure our applications and data, we were able to continue business-as-usual. Our employees could log in from anywhere with a connection and have access to all their data and e-mails, allowing us to work through the aftermath."

Mutual Service Corp., located in West Palm Beach, has known for years the disaster recovery benefits of Citrix's access solutions. During the 2004 hurricane season, which at the time was the worst the country had experienced in 20 years, this financial planning broker and investment firm was able to use the Citrix Access Platform to keep serving its network of independent financial advisors -- despite wind and water damage to its facilities.

Citrix helped Mutual Service ensure uninterrupted, secure Web access to critical information and applications for several thousand independent registered representatives. Brokers across the nation kept working without disruption, preventing the potential loss of several million dollars in gross commissions each week, even as the entire data center was being moved more than 500 miles from its Florida headquarters to Atlanta, Ga., and back again.

With a broad range of experience and products, Citrix solutions can be deployed to fit the needs of both small businesses and large enterprises.
