Umm, did you try searching on Citrix?
Look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrix
One of the most often referred to Citrix products is Citrix Metaframe (now called Citrix Presentation Server). However, they have many different kinds of software products, and even offer some hardware solutions contrary to what the last poster just said.

Bret B. wins!!!
We just upgraded to Presentation 4. I love the "Printing Enhancements" = We locked down every damn aspect of printing to other sessions to keep you from thinking that we just don't like to write code to make printers compatible.
But to answer your question. The lovely people from Citrix write software that mainly focuses on connecting remotely. It runs on top of Terminal Services. Laymans terms.
The Server that you connect to is running the program you want to run. It may run this program many times at the same time. One for each user that logs in. Your computer or Thin Client (little box, that does not have a hardrive or any other major components that costs about 200 dollars and can be tossed at the wall when extremely frustrated.) just sends keyboard and mouse movements to the Server, and the Server sends screen shots back to you. This allows people all over the world to operate on the same database in the same location, without having to setup expensive VPN's or in some cases. Same office, buy a bunch of cheap Terminals and try to screw the software vendors by only purchasing one license for the product.
Many people use Terminal Services without Citrix, Citrix is like the sprinkles on the ice cream. It is supposed to make Administrators job easier by increasing security, but as Brett B said, one never gets the kinks out.

Citrix Terminal Server, I don't recall the proper product name. But terminal service is all they do.
