Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

The Hassle Free Solution for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

Whether you are planning on using Citrix Virtual Apps or Desktops or you are already connected and want to scale up your VDI – you are going to need an endpoint OS and management solution capable of unlocking the full benefit of your VDI.

NoTouch Citrix Ready

Redefining endpoint computing by delivering a single endpoint solution for VDI, DaaS and IoT markets. Enterprises are moving beyond traditional desktops towards smart workplaces where the diverse network of endpoint devices will create interoperability and compatibility issues without a single unified endpoint solution.

Common Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Challenges

High Security Expenses

Without a standardized endpoint architecture, you will spend an immense amount of cash on security updates, Windows fixes, and countless IT staff hours in order to keep your VDI up-to-date and running flawlessly.

Massive Hardware Investment

In order to connect to your Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, you may be thinking of investing in a completely new set of endpoint devices or Thin Clients. Thin Clients are pricey and replacing all of your devices with them will cost a fortune.

Management Nightmare

Even after purchasing your new Thin Clients, you will still need to install Windows onto all your endpoint devices. This means more machines that need to be managed, and updated and have malware and antivirus provided for.

Major Benefits of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

If you are considering Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops to get the full benefit of your VDI environment, you will need to look outside the Windows Lock-Down approach.
