Achieved Highest Score among All Evaluated
Vendors in Strategy and Current Offering Categories
Today, Citrix announced that the company has been named as a
leader in the Forrester Research, Inc. report, The Forrester Wave™:
Server-Hosted Virtual Desktops (VDI), Q3 2015. The report evaluated
seven vendors based on 26 criteria, including current offering,
strategy and market presence.
According to the report, the “XenDesktop VDI offering is
distinctive at several levels, from the user experience with Citrix
Receiver endpoint clients that offer native HDX protocol support on
all device and OS platforms to rich 3D graphics and multiple 4K
monitor support and sophisticated features for multimedia and
videoconferencing performance.” The report also noted that Citrix
offers a “clever Wi-Fi-based mouse that works with the Citrix
Receiver on the iOS platform.”
Citrix also received the highest scores for strategy and current
offering, and is the only solution in the evaluation to offer FIPS
140-2 compliance, key encryption standard required by Federal
government agencies. The report states that “on the back end,
application layering and personal vDisks help customers make better
use of storage resources with pooled desktop instances, and
customers can deploy them on Citrix, VMware or Microsoft
hypervisors – a significant advantage.”
The report notes that “Citrix consolidated its platforms in
2014, and finally has a single management console for the whole VDI
stack” and that “XenDesktop is also part of the most complete suite
of digital workspace delivery systems technologies in the industry,
which includes XenApp for proven session-hosted desktop
capabilities if desired.”
XenDesktop delivers virtual Windows desktops as secure mobile
services to any device. Built on a third generation FlexCast
Management Architecture (FMA), XenDesktop offers a hybrid
cloud-ready platform that separates the management plane from the
workload. As a result, IT can securely deliver published apps
on-premises and manage workers and mobile workspaces either
on-premises or in the cloud.
