The clear choice for desktop virtualization and VDICitrix XenDesktop is the clear choice for desktop virtualization and delivers virtual desktops as a service to users anywhere. With Citrix XenDesktop, users can access their virtual desktops and applications across any network and device. By implementing a virtual desktops (VDI) you can reduce desktop management TCO up to 40 percent by centralizing virtual desktops in the datacenter and simplifying the traditional desktop lifecycle.
Citrix XenDesktop is the only virtual desktop solution that delivers a high definition user experience over any connection—from local corporate network to high latency wide area networks for remote desktop access using Citrix HDX technology. Citrix XenDesktop is built on an open architecture to offer customers the choice and flexibility of virtualization platform and endpoint devices. Unlike other desktop virtualization (VDI) alternatives, Citrix XenDesktop simplifies desktop management by using a single master virtual desktop image to deliver personalized virtual desktops to both virtual machines and physical endpoints and enables IT to manage service levels with built-in performance monitoring. Key Features,Best desktop TCOCentralizing and simplifying desktop management across the entire desktop lifecycle, dramatically reduces storage and endpoint costs, and provides the lowest TCO for desktops. Single image desktop managementMaintaining a single master virtual desktop image in the datacenter provides users with an up-to-date, pristine virtual desktop at each logon, drastically reduces patch and upgrade maintenance efforts, and cuts storage costs of hosted virtual desktops by up to 90 percent. Use the single virtual desktop image to provision virtual desktops hosted in the datacenter, or stream the virtual desktop to the endpoint to leverage the local processing power. Real-time desktop assemblyUsers are instantly provisioned with a pristine virtual desktop that incorporates the user’s personal settings and applications, regardless of the access device or location - whether accessed while on the corporate network or for remote desktop access. High definition user experience With HDX technology, XenDesktop ensures a high definition user experience - for virtual desktops andvirtual applications - from any device, on any network - even for graphics-rich multimedia content. Built-in virtual applications Virtual applications enable fewer, simpler virtual desktop images and eliminate system conflicts. This can reduce application regression testing and increase virtual desktop density by up to two times. Secure by design Centralized data, encrypted delivery, a SSL VPN appliance and multi-factor authentication ensure data security - that only the correct users connect to their desktops and that intellectual property is protected and in compliance with regulations. Service level assuranceProactive monitoring identifies performance issues at the user level and enables reallocation of resources in real time to ensure optimal performance, high availability and failover. This ensures high user satisfaction and enables IT to meet service level targets, and enables business continuity. Open architecture XenDesktop integrates with Citrix Essentials and XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and VMWare Virtual Infrastructure. It works out-of-the-box with desktop appliances from every major thin client vendor. This ensures no vendor lock-in for virtualization or endpoint devices.
