Citrix Expands Cloud and On-premises Capabilities to Support the Needs of Hybrid Customers

Citrix, a business unit of Cloud Software Group, today announced expanded capabilities for its cloud and on-premises solutions for the hybrid world. As part of this expansion, Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) offerings are now combined in a Citrix Universal™ subscription. These offerings include a recent Citrix release — Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops™ 7 2305 — which comes on the heels of new features the organization made available this year. This flexibility is designed to meet customers where they are, whether that is on-premises, cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, or all of the above.

Although public cloud spend has already increased more than 20% year-over-year, many enterprises are still weighing options as they consider whether to make the transition from on-premises to public cloud. “The future of compute is hybrid,” said Shannon Kalvar, research director, IDC. “Enterprises have realized that they have to coordinate edge, cloud, datacenter, and end-point compute to meet the diverse requirements imposed by digital operations using hybrid workforces in the modern world.” Citrix customers have expressed a similar sentiment, indicating they want a comprehensive desktop solution with the flexibility of hybrid cloud. Offering this solution highlights Citrix’s commitment to customer-centric innovation.

“Many of our customers prefer the control that on-premises offers, with the scalability and flexibility of hybrid cloud,” said Sridhar Mullapudi, general manager, Citrix, a business unit of Cloud Software Group. “Our latest services and features meet them where they are on their cloud journeys, benefiting enterprises with a reduced admin burden, improved user experience, and enhanced security.”

Expanded capabilities provide secure and flexible virtual app and desktop delivery that enables both cloud and on-premises.
