QUMU Video Optimization Pack for Citrix
QUMU's Video Optimization Pack (VOP) for Citrix enables you to stream quality videos to endpoints managed by Citrix Virtual
Apps and Desktops servers by enabling client-side fetching. The QVOP video player runs on the client side and the video stream
uses the client's network to go directly to QUMU's Video Control Center instead of accessing through VDI desktops.
