Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, has launched a new version of GoToMyPC, which it claims to better accommodate Mac users seeking a remote-access product that is purpose-built for the Mac.

The company said that the version 7.0 allows Mac and PC users to work remotely from any computer with internet access and easily access their Mac or PC files, computer programs, email and company network.

Brett Caine, general manager of Citrix Online, said: “With this new release, we’re giving Mac users what they’ve been asking for – a reliable remote access service built specifically for the Mac. For the large and growing Mac community, they can rest assured of finally having a remote access service that works as advertised from the most trusted name in the category.”

Sean Ryan, senior analyst of mobile enterprise software at IDC, said: “Customers value Citrix’s remote access services software GoToMyPC for its capabilities, reliability and ease of use. With market projections for the Mac and remote access services to grow, GoToMyPC is well positioned in the market.”

The extension of GoToMyPC to the Mac means universal access to remote machines whether running Windows or Mac OS, the company said.
