Customers and Partners Invited to Test Drive
Citrix Workspace Cloud, a Cloud-based Platform That Simplifies the
Design, Delivery and Management of Mobile Workspaces
Today at Citrix Synergy, the company unveiled Citrix Workspace
Cloud, a new platform designed to simplify the on-demand delivery
of a wide range of IT tools and services. With Citrix Workspace
Cloud, Citrix is providing partners and businesses with a solution
to address the increasing pressure that new devices, apps and work
styles are putting on traditional infrastructure. People today want
instant access to all the apps and data they use to get their jobs
done, and they want to be able to get that access from any device
and any location. This idea of a workspace is built on the premise
that people have a place where Windows apps, web apps, mobile apps,
desktops, documents and collaboration come together on whichever
device or network is being used.
The Citrix Workspace Cloud creates a new control plane that
merges the worlds of on-premises and cloud, allowing IT managers to
create secure, mobile workspaces that include desktops,
applications and data from whatever infrastructure source best
meets their specific needs. Citrix Workspace Cloud is the ultimate
expression of choice and personalization and is paving the way to a
brighter future for IT, and for the people that consume it. As the
world moves to this hybrid model, businesses have flexibility to
securely deploy the apps and systems needed within the enterprise.
By delivering all management via the cloud, Citrix is providing its
customers and partners with the experience, flexibility and
security needed to architect, design, deploy and publish
easy-to-use mobile workspaces to anyone, anywhere - on any
device.
This cloud-based management platform provides customers the
flexibility to choose which clouds or datacenter resources fit
their needs best, then select the applications, data, files and
features that work best for each specific organization and each
person. Partners add value by architecting and designing
customized, personalized workspaces uniquely suited to meet their
customers’ business requirements, combining new Citrix technologies
with existing Citrix workspace environments to simplify management
and gain greater value from their Citrix investment.
Citrix Workspace Cloud Test Drive
To enable partners and customers to understand the scope and
value of what Citrix Workspace Cloud offers, Citrix is offering a
test drive - launching at Citrix Synergy - that walks through the
process of publishing a Citrix pre-designed workspace, and allow up
to five people to subscribe and use those workspaces. The test
drive will include examples of key services like application and
desktop delivery, mobility management, data and content sharing,
infrastructure management and more. Additional detail on Citrix
Workspace Cloud and access to the test drive is available as of
Tuesday, May 12 at noon ET on citrix.com/workspacecloud.
Quotes
Jesse Lipson, Vice President and General Manager, Cloud
Services, Citrix
“Citrix Workspace Cloud is the future of on-demand IT. People
want access to all their apps and data, and this no longer equates
to a desktop. Citrix has created the fastest and easiest way to
deploy new resources, simplified infrastructure management, and
provided freedom of choice in selecting the right hosting and
delivery model. Today, we are excited to offer this test drive to
our partners and customers so they can see how Citrix Workspace
Cloud supports their business and on-demand IT strategies.”
Jim Comfort, General Manager of Cloud Services, IBM
“IBM Cloud customers and partners look to us to help simplify
their IT management and improve user experience. Soon, Citrix
customers using the Workspace Cloud management plane will be able
to select IBM Cloud’s SoftLayer infrastructure to easily deploy or
migrate their workloads to the cloud. We also plan to offer the new
SoftLayer-delivered service as part of our IBM Mobility Services
portfolio. With these new offerings, we’re providing customers with
even more options to adopt cloud - whether hybrid or private - to
transform their businesses.”
Dr. Tom Bradicich, Vice President, Server Engineering,
HP
"HP and Citrix deliver a choice of mobile workspace solutions
through an on-premises cloud, off-premise cloud, or hybrid
approach, efficiently powered by our breakthrough HP Moonshot and
HP ConvergedSystems. The new Citrix Workspace Cloud allows our
customers to go further with the simplified design and deployment
of a broad set of workspace services, through a single cloud
management platform. Our partnership, coupled with quick and
easy provisioning of multiple cloud architectures and hybrid IT
models, sets us apart in the industry as a leading cloud solution
provider.”
Dr. Scott Ottaway, Vice President, 451 Research
“When it comes to end-user computing, Enterprise IT is at a
cross-roads with multiple challenges around device management
complexity, data and application security, and requirements to
deliver consumer-like, consistent experiences across any device.
And IT leaders have more pressure than ever to achieve rapid time
to market with new IT services, especially new mobile applications.
Citrix Workspace Cloud addresses these concerns for existing and
new mobile-first applications. And, as the solution is
infrastructure-agnostic, it enables organizations to choose the
best execution venue whether on-premises, at a cloud service
provider or on a hosted private cloud, thus providing a solution
for Enterprises to develop a viable near and long-term end-user
computing strategy without cloud lock-in.”
Frederich Devoir, Sr. Architect, Textron Inc.
“Our global strategy is one of cloud centricity, deploying our
technology with a cloud-first mentality. As we look across our many
expanding workgroups, geographic locations, and Citrix farms, we
clearly see how Citrix Workspace Cloud can help us bridge and unify
management across these environments. As we march forward with our
deployment strategy, we expect that Workspace Cloud will be the
first step in that journey to provide us with a simple on-ramp to
the cloud for our Citrix assets.”
Paul Kunze, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, IntraSystems
Inc.
“Citrix Workspace Cloud will give us a new way to engage with
and deliver unique value to our customers. We also see the new
revenue opportunities through the ability to design and publish the
kind of high-value, differentiated workspaces our customers are
seeking, and delivering them faster and more easily than ever
before.”
Ryan Gallier, Senior Architect, VC3
“As a Citrix Service Provider partner, I’m excited about the
release of Citrix Workspaces Cloud and the opportunities it brings
to our business. Citrix Workspace Cloud will enable us to optimize
our datacenter space by offloading control plane services to the
Citrix Cloud while hosting more Citrix Desktops in ours. That will
help streamline our onboarding process since we won’t have to build
control plane services across each of our customers.”
