Citrix XenDesktop - The clear choice for desktop virtualization and VDI
XenDesktop makes virtual desktops a mainstream reality for hundreds of millions of corporate employees for the first time ever. Unlike first-generation virtual desktop (VDI) solutions that were applicable only to a narrow set of users, XenDesktop with its new FlexCast delivery technology is the first product in the industry to support every desktop virtualization model in a single, integrated solution.
This approach improves ROI, simplifies management and extends the benefits of virtualization to every employee in the enterprise. With the full integration of Citrix XenApp™ functionality, customers can deliver on-demand applications as a seamless part of their overall desktop management strategy.
XenDesktop – Today’s digital workforce demands the flexibility to work from anywhere at any time using any device they’d like. Leveraging Citrix Receiver as a lightweight universal client, XenDesktop users can access their desktop and corporate applications from any PC, Mac, thin client or smartphone. This enables complete workplace flexibility, business continuity and user mobility. Furthermore, VDI solution is no longer confined to a small group of users.

New webcam and VoIP support, improved audio, 3D graphics support and branch office WAN optimization ensure that users can get a high-definition user experience regardless of their location.
