GEC NEWS WIRECitrix Enables Partners to Accelerate App Migrations and Reduce Cost and Time of New Desktop Deployments
Citrix app and desktop virtualization software and migration tools enable partners and IT organizations to deliver immediate access to core business applications on new Windows 10 PCs and tablets, simplify the rollout of Windows 10 desktops and streamline the business app migration process.
According to Nabeel Youakim, Vice President, Product Management, Windows App Delivery, Citrix, “We anticipate tremendous demand for XenApp and XenDesktop in the coming year as our IT organizations depend on Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop virtualization technology to enable successful Microsoft Windows migrations, which are ideal opportunities for enterprises to embrace virtualized mobile workspaces. XenApp app deliveryprovides employees with new Windows 10 devices with access vital Windows business applications optimized for previous Windows versions. The fact that there are more than ten million business applications delivered through XenApp illustrates our ability to deliver seamless access to apps. Meanwhile, XenDesktop offers a way to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity involved in managing and maintaining Windows desktops.”
Many organizations will also take the Windows migration event as an opportunity to further their cloud adoption strategies, either by outsourcing desktop and device management to service providers or moving their own apps and desktops to cloud infrastructure. For the rapidly growing segment of businesses deciding to offload desktop management, more than 2,700 Citrix Service Provider partners stand ready to deliver subscription-based, business-ready applications, desktops and complete mobile workspaces, many of those built in the Microsoft Azure cloud. Those organizations looking to self-manage cloud-based Windows apps and desktops, with the guidance of Citrix Solution Advisors, can take advantage of Citrix reference architectures for deploying XenApp and XenDesktop as well as Citrix NetScaler on Azure.
Some businesses have mapped their cloud strategies around the adoption of SaaS solutions, such as Office 365. Citrix integrates with and adds value to these solutions with secure app and data delivery.
