The Citrix and Google collaboration continues to accelerate with
new product releases, including Receiver for Chrome and a strong
growth of new joint customers and channel partners.
Citrix and Google have been working together since 2011 to
deliver business apps to the first Chromebooks. With Gartner now
predicting Chromebooks will triple in sales by 2017, a rapidly
growing number of customers will be looking for a way to leverage
the enterprise cloud computing capabilities of the device and
services, while still accessing critical line-of-business apps that
they rely on today.
To offer customers the best end user experience in the industry,
Citrix is announcing a new Citrix Receiver for Chrome, which offers
Chromebook users the most advanced user experience features in the
industry. Although HTML5-based solutions, such as Citrix Receiver
for HTML5, will work on Chrome OS and offer browser-based access to
virtual apps and desktops without any download or installation of
client software, the receiver for Chrome provides direct
integration to functionality specific to Chromebooks. These
features include the ability to seamlessly integrate with Google
Cloud Print, audio and video playback, assignment of a unique
Receiver ID to each device for monitoring, seamless Clipboard
integration across remote and local applications, end user
experience monitoring with HDX Insight and direct SSL
connections.
Solution provider partners who are trained to introduce and
deploy Chromebooks combined with XenApp and XenDesktop are now
operating in regions around the world, and sales momentum continues
to grow across vertical markets. In June 2014, the partnership
added new joint enterprise customers supporting enterprise
workspaces that encompass more than 25,000 Chromebook users. In the
past month, Google and Citrix sales teams have partnered with an
additional 20 worldwide enterprise accounts that will begin to
implement Chromebook deployments with XenApp and XenDesktop over
the coming months.
One example is from Citrix-Google partner Fronde who is
deploying the Fronde Cloud Workspace Solution that combines XenApp
and XenDesktop from the cloud to provide enterprise applications to
Chromebooks. Citrix technology is particularly valuable in
providing a bridge to the cloud for traditional enterprise business
applications that can be difficult to deploy from cloud
environments.
Another example is Chapters Health System, a healthcare
organization that has deployed Chromebooks combined with XenApp and
Receiver to provide mobile nurses and caregivers with simple access
to clinical and business software applications while they are
onsite with patients. The combination of Chromebooks and Citrix
technology provides caregivers with quick, easy access to the
applications and tools they need, allowing them to devote more time
to patients and less time to working with technology.
CIOs and IT managers benefit from the Citrix relationship with
Google by gaining the ability to securely deliver desktops, apps
and IT services over any network and from any cloud, including
private, public or hybrid environments. And the collaboration
between Citrix and Google will continue to evolve and grow as the
relentless pace of mobile innovation continues.
Quotes:
Rajen Sheth, Director of Product Management, Chrome for
Business and Education, Google
“Chromebooks continue to do well in business, whether customers
are already fully in the cloud or they need a little help from our
friends at Citrix. Many vertical industries like healthcare and
finance have complex requirements around security and compliance,
and all businesses need robust manageability, which is why
Chromebooks appeal to a broad range of IT folks at Citrix customers
like Woolworths and Chapters Health System.”
Chris Williams, Director of IT and Support Services, Chapters
Health System
“At Chapters Health, our main priority is delivering superior
patient care. Our investment in HP Chromebooks combined with XenApp
and Citrix Receiver gives caregivers simple, secure access to the
virtual clinical and business apps they need, when they need it. By
keeping the technology simple and easy to use, we’re giving them
the freedom to put patients first. This combination works for our
employees and for our organization, which is why we are looking at
additional deployments of Chrome with XenApp in the near
future.”
James Valentine, CTO, Fronde
“Traditional enterprises are embracing the vision of delivering
cloud-based mobile workspaces over Chromebooks or smart mobile
devices. Yet at the same time, they have a range of existing
business applications that can be difficult to deploy from the
cloud. Citrix plays a vital role in addressing this issue, freeing
customers to embrace Google enterprise solutions."
Calvin Hsu, Vice President, Product Marketing, Desktop and
Apps, Citrix
“Citrix and Google are changing the way people work. In addition
to the joint collaboration around XenApp and XenDesktop with
Chromebooks, Citrix ShareFile features a personal cloud connector
for accessing Google Drive files, Citrix GoToMeeting® Free is now
available on Chrome, and Citrix Podio is integrated with Google
Apps. Google and Citrix are committed to continued innovation
across our product lines to bring best in class mobile workspaces
to our customers.”
