Cloud Delivery of VDI and App Virtualization,
Delivery Networking, Secure File Sharing Set to Drive Digital
Transformation; Power Workspace of the Future
Rising global competition and accelerating innovation require
businesses to become more agile and digital, harnessing the Cloud,
Mobile, Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT) to reimagine business
models and change how work gets done. According to IDC, over the
next 3-5 years, the percentage of enterprises with digital
transformation strategies will more than double. Demands for
agility, convenience and accessibility will make the Cloud a
cornerstone of these digital strategies, with IDC predicting that
at least half of IT spending will be cloud-based by 20181.
Today, at Citrix Synergy, Citrix showcased new products and
services that offer the promise to accelerate digital
transformation efforts by delivering a unified
Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) that empowers workers with secure,
on-demand access to the apps and data they need to work effectively
and efficiently from anywhere. These on-demand workspaces from
Citrix also give IT the ability to securely deliver and manage it
all from a single, unified control plane. To enable this vision for
the workspace of the future, Citrix unveiled new products and
innovations for VDI and app virtualization, delivery networking,
and secure file-sharing that can be delivered as cloud services
from the expanded Citrix Cloud, or deployed on-premises on hybrid
IT infrastructure.
The Citrix Cloud securely delivers and helps partners and
customers manage services from the cloud that unite the Citrix
product portfolio, offered as a service and always up to date.
Citrix Cloud services unify every major Citrix product needed to
deliver a secure and dynamic digital workspace, including Citrix
NetScaler, ShareFile, XenApp, XenDesktop and XenMobile. These
offerings are available - individually, or can be accessed together
as a unified Workspace-as-a-Service solution, giving customers the
choice to start their digital transformation anywhere and easily
expand to the full WaaS suite at their pace. For products with
hybrid components, Citrix Cloud also enables customers deploy on to
any cloud or infrastructure of their choice, giving businesses the
flexibility to secure and manage their data and infrastructure to
best meet the needs of their organization and regulatory
environment.
The Citrix Cloud is also designed to solve challenges Citrix
partners face when building their businesses on Citrix
technologies. Within the past quarter, Citrix introduced the Citrix
License Usage Insights Service, a cloud service for Citrix Service
Providers to help them manage their license usage reporting. To
help partners leverage Citrix Cloud, Citrix is developing
educational sessions that will enable partners to accelerate their
businesses and drive revenue.
Taking Data Security to New Levels with Information Rights
Management for ShareFile
Citrix ShareFile has consistently led the way as the only
enterprise-class file, sync-and-share solution that can run on any
cloud, on-premises and hybrid IT infrastructure. Recognized by
industry analysts as one of the most secure and advanced solutions
available, ShareFile has taken data protection and security to a
new level with information rights management for ShareFile. This
powerful new feature lets data security “follow the file” even as
it leaves the ShareFile system and finds its way to unprotected
devices, USB drives, email attachments and any other file sharing
system. When a file is shared with rights management protections,
access to the file requires ShareFile authentication – even after
the file has been downloaded.
For markets like financial services, federal and state agencies,
information rights management for ShareFile provides unprecedented
security combined with convenience, keeping people productive while
protecting data, files and critical information.
Advancing the App Virtualization and VDI Experience with
XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9
Citrix innovation in VDI and app virtualization continues with
XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9, which further advances the best secure
app and virtual desktop experience in the industry. XenApp and
XenDesktop 7.9 take the user experience to new levels of
convenience and performance with expanded authentication, enhanced
graphics support and advanced printing capabilities, while driving
down virtual app and desktop delivery costs. In addition, XenApp
and XenDesktop 7.9 provide powerful administrative monitoring and
tools to simplify ongoing maintenance and configuration.
For improved security, people who depend on XenApp and
XenDesktop at work can use the same authentication method across
their virtual and local apps, which dramatically reduces the number
of passwords needed each day and reduces IT service calls. For IT
administrators, XenApp and XenDesktop simplify the process for
managing access for contractors, partners and other third-party
vendors who require B2B authentication.
As applications increasingly demand higher definition graphics,
XenApp and XenDesktop with HDX delivers enhanced 3D graphics
performance for Windows 10 desktops. Citrix has integrated the HDX
3D Pro performance with Intel Iris Pro Server graphics to deliver a
superior experience for any app where a virtual GPU is needed.
XenApp and XenDesktop remain the only secure app and desktop
delivery solution based on a single architecture that can be
deployed on any cloud, any infrastructure or any hypervisor,
including Nutanix Acropolis.
Streamlining Business Workflows and Mobile Productivity with
the Latest XenMobile Updates
At Citrix Synergy the latest version of XenMobile 10.3.5
(released in early May 2016) will be demonstrated to illustrate the
advantage of a mobile application management (MAM) only approach to
secure mobility. XenMobile continues to strengthen the Citrix
MAM-first option that enables IT to distribute apps securely
without requiring the personal device to be enrolled with a
company’s mobile device management (MDM) solution. This capability
is a key advantage for employees who are more often reluctant to
enroll their device and install an MDM client on their personal
mobile device. It is also an advantage for companies that are not
allowed to install an MDM client on the user’s device due to
privacy requirements.
Citrix is also showcasing a powerful new XenMobile feature,
Secure Forms, which empower line-of-business managers and IT to
easily digitize specific processes, transforming traditional paper
forms into secure mobile mini-apps without writing a single line of
code. With Secure Forms IT will be able to securely streamline
daily tasks, such as police officers writing speeding tickets,
hospital patient requests and discharges, aircraft service
inspections and insurance claims adjustment reports into quick,
easy mobile apps that eliminate paperwork and streamline tedious
processes.
With a click, IT can publish the mini-apps that so users
enrolled in XenMobile can access them on their mobile phone and
tablets. With Secure Forms IT can configure and apply the required
security policies as they would for other Citrix mobile apps.
Simplifying App Delivery in Hybrid Cloud and Micro-Services
App Architectures with NetScaler Innovations
As enterprises embrace digital transformation, IT organizations
need an application delivery network that addresses the new
requirements of a Digital enterprise, with three new additions to
the Citrix NetScaler family: NetScaler Management and Analytics
System (NMAS), NetScaler CPX and NetScaler SD-WAN Enterprise
Edition, consolidating all networking offerings under the NetScaler
family.
NMAS is an orchestration, automation, visualization and
analytics platform to manage both traditional IT and Agile IT ADC
infrastructure operating in hybrid cloud and micro services
application architectures. For agile IT, NMAS reduces the
development cycle with tools that insert load balancing early in
development cycle, hence easing transition to production
environments. For traditional IT, NMAS allows network operations
teams to scale L4-L7 services and dramatically simplifies
troubleshooting and managing support containers and micro-services,
while providing IT operations with a dedicated view of the
app-centric infrastructure.
An industry-first NetScaler CPX is a NetScaler Application
Delivery Controller (ADC) in a container form factor, but built on
the same code base as the traditional NetScaler ADC. NetScaler CPX
runs on Linux and is packaged as a Docker container. Application
developers can use NetScaler CPX with the ability to develop their
code with the same enterprise-grade ADC and load balancing
functionality that they can use all the way through to production.
Furthermore, NetScaler CPX can be provisioned and deployed using
the Docker command line just like any other container in the
system.
Additionally, Citrix unveiled NetScaler SD-WAN Enterprise
Edition, as a fully integrated SD-WAN solution that uniquely offers
a single pane-of-glass management. Enterprises no longer
need to struggle with how to manage multiple devices or components
at branch locations for WAN virtualization, optimization,
performance management, or security. NetScaler SD-WAN
virtualization technology stands apart in the marketplace, offering
the fastest failover response, unique path load-balancing
capabilities, intelligent extensions for lossless delivery of
real-time media and end-to-end enterprise grade security.
