Latest Release Advances Business Mobility with
New Efficiencies for Users and a Single Plane of Control for IT
Today, Citrix announced a new release of XenMobile® enterprise
mobility management (EMM) solution. XenMobile 10 optimizes the
mobility experience for end users while automating and simplifying
the IT deployment and management process. This release includes
compelling design enhancements for streamlined workflows, which are
part of the XenMobile suite of integrated productivity apps,
enabling users to have the best business experience on their mobile
devices. For IT teams, the new release delivers a unified EMM
platform that simplifies the management and deployment of mobile
apps, data and devices, offering businesses the flexibility and
security to scale easily and support a growing mobile
workforce.
Enterprise mobility initiatives have become a fundamental way of
securely supporting workforce productivity, increasing business
agility and enabling globalization and scale. As mobile growth
continues, enterprises require a scalable and flexible
infrastructure to manage and support an influx of mobile devices
and applications. At the same time, there is immense pressure on IT
to provide access to apps and data on any mobile device that
combine security with a superior and familiar user experience.
XenMobile stands apart from other offerings based on experience,
security and flexibility in every aspect of product design and
development. This differentiated focus makes it a best for business
mobility solution for both employees and IT administrators.
Experience higher productivity with ‘optimized for business’
workflows
XenMobile offers the most complete set of business productivity
apps that deliver an optimized business experience for mobile
users. The new release features multiple design enhancements
improving the overall experience for power users and enabling them
to create new workflows with the XenMobile suite of integrated
business apps. These include: WorxMail™, WorxWeb™, WorxNotes™,
WorxEdit™, WorxDesktop™ and ShareFile®. For example:
- The new integration between WorxNotes
and Exchange enables syncing of Outlook Notes on desktops with
WorxNotes on the mobile devices, keeping all notes in one place for
secure storage and retrieval from any desktop or mobile device
anytime, anywhere.
- The integration of WorxNotes and
ShareFile creates a simple workflow for secure document capture and
storage. The WorxNotes application allows users to create notes
from text, audio and images or videos captured by the device
camera. These always remain part of the secure note, which is
automatically synced to ShareFile. Healthcare service providers can
use these secure workflows to drive productivity for their mobile
workforce, while advancing their HIPPA regulatory objectives.
The new XenMobile release also provides mobile users with a new
and easy to use Self Service Portal for managing important tasks,
such as tracking, locking and wiping lost or stolen devices. Based
on Citrix testing, this can result in an estimated 20 percent
reduction in IT help desk tickets from mobile users, which in turn,
lowers IT operations costs and gives control to the end users.
End to end security minimizes the risk of deploying
enterprise mobility
In addition to securing the mobile device, productivity apps and
data storage, the new XenMobile release delivers enhancements to
secure the interactions between the device, the network gateway and
the servers. The new release supports strong authentication for
applications using RSA Adaptive Authentication, a leading risk
based authentication and fraud detection platform, and provides
support for FIPS 140.2 advanced encryption, which is based on the
U.S. government security standards. Specifically, these new
enhancements strengthen the encryption between device to network
and network to server connections, and also, secure the
administrative console connections.
Flexibility for IT and better time to value with a Single
Plane of Control
The new release of XenMobile simplifies IT administration tasks,
from enrolling, provisioning, configuring and deploying to
troubleshooting of the entire mobility stack, including devices,
apps and the infrastructure. The latest release unifies the server
infrastructure for mobile device management (MDM) with mobile
application management (MAM). This provides IT administrators a
single plane of control to efficiently manage apps and devices from
a single virtual server.
Citrix tests show that with the unified infrastructure, IT can
deliver better time to value for the business by managing the
mobile devices, apps and data in half the time, while also lowering
IT costs by reducing the need for hardware and VM licenses. The
single management console speeds up the deployment time by 75
percent with reduced number of steps needed to configure and
complete the setup. For example, IT can now create one policy and
apply it across all platforms and devices, including iOS, Android
and Windows Phone. In addition, the integration with NetScaler®
gateway extends IT’s view into the network infrastructure from the
same unified console, which helps administrators manage automated
connectivity checks of multiple systems that are part of the
mobility environment.
Benefits for Partners
XenMobile’s new unified infrastructure with a single plane of
control provides the Citrix partner community a simpler
architecture, which is significantly easier to setup in the field
and reduces the time to get the use cases deployed for their
customers. Citrix offers a wealth of resources for the partners to
get started on the new XenMobile release. For more information,

“Citrix delivers a powerful EMM solution, and we are looking
forward to rolling out the new release. The simplified architecture
in XenMobile provides a streamlined experience for IT, enabling us
to scale and manage a growing mobile workforce in an efficient and

“XenMobile brings the core elements of enterprise mobility
together, including a unified platform for greater IT efficiency,
stronger security, and a unique set of innovative, productivity
apps for our end users. I highly recommend XenMobile 10 to new
customers.”
Scott Solomon, Field Technical Consultant, Ingram
Micro
“The first thing I noticed was how clean the GUI was in the new
XenMobile release. It is very simple and easy to
navigate. Overall, I think this version is a huge leap forward
to an already fantastic product. I expect this will accelerate
adoption rate due to its simplicity and ease of deployment.”
Chris Marsh, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Mobile App
Strategies, 451 Research
“With XenMobile, Citrix is going beyond having just a
comprehensive EMM solution. Through integrations of its Worx apps
and ShareFile service for example, it is able to deliver strong
mobile user experiences, which will appeal to companies wanting to
invest in mobility to drive greater worker productivity without
introducing disparate and fragmented sets of technologies that they
might otherwise have to deal with. With these kinds of innovations,
Citrix is one of now only a handful of vendors leading the pack as
consolidation begins to force out the long tail of EMM
players.”
