Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops are virtualisation solutions that give IT control of virtual machines, applications, licensing, and security while providing anywhere access for any device.
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops allow:
Citrix Cloud services
Citrix Cloud services simplify the delivery and management of Citrix technologies, helping you to extend existing on-premises software deployments or move one hundred percent to the cloud. Create and deploy secure digital workspaces in hours, not weeks, while placing your sensitive app, desktop and data resources on any cloud or hybrid cloud.
Support workplace flexibility and mobility: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops help organisations maintain information security while providing flexible access to IT resources from more locations. Centralised application and data management and granular access control policies allow only authorised users to connect to enterprise resources.
Say “yes” to consumerisation: Whether people bring the laptop of their choice into the office, work on a tablet while offsite or check in via smartphone to respond to business needs while in transit, consumerisation is a huge benefit for them and their organisations.
Prevent data loss, ensure privacy and protect intellectual property: Centralising resources in the data centre, app and desktop virtualisation lets IT manage and secure Windows apps and associated data more simply and effectively in a single location rather than in thousands of different locations across the organisation and beyond.
Maintain global compliance: Centralised, granular policy control enabled by app and desktop virtualisation helps IT stop handling compliance and data privacy in a reactive manner and instead allows development of the right information security strategy for the organisation.
Increase the value of security investments: By centralising maintenance, app and desktop virtualisation simplifies and accelerates endpoint security. Patches, antivirus updates and hotfixes can be quickly installed on a single master image before being deployed throughout the organisation.
Support rapid business growth: App and desktop virtualisation provides the ability to extend the organisation’s existing security model to new locations, people and groups quickly, easily and cost-effectively. It simplifies remote office and branch management in several ways such as local lockdown, rapid setup and high availability. Adding new users to existing groups according to their security profile and work requirements means that the right policies are applied from day one.
