XenDesktop Enterprise Edition, 1 User, Subscription Advantage
b>The virtual desktop revolution is here... for everyone!
Citrix® XenDesktop™ is a desktop virtualization and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution that delivers a complete Windows® desktop experience as an on-demand service to any user, anywhere. Whether users are task workers, knowledge workers, or mobile workers, XenDesktop quickly and securely delivers individual applications or complete desktops while providing a high-definition user experience.
Why should you virtualize desktops?
For the first time ever, XenDesktop makes virtual desktops a mainstream reality for hundreds of millions of corporate employees. Unlike first generation virtual desktop solutions that were applicable only to a narrow set of users, XenDesktop is the first product to support every desktop virtualization model in a single, integrated solution. This approach improves return on investment, simplifies management, and extends the benefits of virtualization to every employee in the enterprise. With XenDesktop, IT can manage single instances of each OS, application, and user profile, and dynamically assemble them to increase business agility and simplify desktop management. The open architecture of XenDesktop integrates with any hypervisor, storage, or management infrastructure.
Why choose XenDesktop for desktop virtualization and VDI?
XenDesktop is the clear choice for virtual desktop management and VDI. With its unique FlexCast™ delivery technology, XenDesktop quickly and securely delivers individual applications or complete desktops to the entire enterprise, regardless of user type. With FlexCast, users get the experience that fits their work style instead of having to match their work style to the limitations of alternative solutions.
Citrix® HDX™ technology gives XenDesktop users an experience that rivals that of a local PC, even when using multimedia, real-time collaboration, USB peripherals, and 3D graphics. Webcam and VoIP support, improved audio, 3D graphics support, and branch office WAN optimization ensure that users have a high-definition, high-performance experience regardless of location.
Only XenDesktop users can access their desktops and corporate applications from any PC, Mac, thin client or smartphone, by leveraging Citrix Receiver™ as a lightweight universal client. This enables complete workplace flexibility, business continuity, and user mobility.
The combination of FlexCast, HDX, and Citrix Receiver technologies available only in XenDesktop enables you to deliver virtual desktops without compromising the experience your users expect.
How XenDesktop helps your business
Citrix® XenDesktop® is a powerful form of desktop virtualization because it enables fully personalized desktops for each user with all of the security and simplicity of centralized management. What’s more, with full integration of Citrix® XenApp™ functionality, customers can deliver on-demand applications to any user, anywhere, as a seamless part of their overall desktop management strategy.
Simplifies desktop management
XenDesktop delivers the power of one. Instead of juggling thousands of static desktop images, XenDesktop enables IT to manage and update the OS and applications one time, from one location. IT can control data access, manage fewer desktop images, eliminate system conflicts, and reduce application regression testing. Adding, updating, and removing applications is simple for users with self-service capabilities that enable them to serve themselves. Users will access applications instantly from anywhere while getting a high-definition user experience.
Improves security
XenDesktop lets users access desktops and applications from any location or device and allows IT to set policies that control whether data ever leaves the datacenter. XenDesktop can dramatically improve endpoint security by eliminating the need for data to reside on user devices. Centralized control policies ensure that only authorized users can connect to XenDesktop. Preconfigured policies enabled by HDX SmartAccess determine the appropriate level of access to grant to users based on their role, location, network, and device. XenDesktop uses high-performance, standards-based encrypted transmissions to deliver desktops to both internal and remote users.
Delivers desktops instantly
When it comes to users, one desktop does not fit all. Different types of workers across the enterprise have varying performance and personalization requirements. Some require simplicity and standardization while others need high performance or a fully personalized desktop. XenDesktop can meet all these requirements in a single solution with the unique Citrix® FlexCast™ delivery technology. With FlexCast, IT can deliver every type of virtual desktop, hosted or local, physical or virtual—each specifically tailored to meet the performance, security, and flexibility requirements of each individual user.
