What is Citrix best known for?
Citrix, part of the Cloud Software Group, is a cloud computing and virtualisation technology company that provides server, application and desktop virtualisation, networking, software as a service (SaaS), and cloud computing technologies. Citrix products are used by over 400,000 clients worldwide, including 99% of the Fortune 100, and 98% of the Fortune 500.
From the perspective of the end user, it gives people access to all the apps they use for work — web, virtual, mobile, and SaaS — from one easy-to-use portal on any of their devices, from wherever they need to work. And because the entire workspace is centralised, IT departments can monitor, manage and support end users.
Citrix offers one digital workspace platform to empower secure hybrid work. It supports organisations to free their people to do their very best work from anywhere with integrated: Desktop as a service (DaaS), App delivery and security and Collaborative work solutions.
The software publishes virtualised Windows applications, desktops and resources to remote users. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops work in tandem with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS), utilising their High Definition Experience (HDX) protocol for data transferring.
Training and certification in Citrix validates the knowledge and experiences of IT professionals in New Zealand to manage environments that use the software.
