To help businesses drive transformational performance and
greater employee engagement, Citrix is announcing new secure
digital workspace offerings at Citrix Synergy that will power the
future of work, enabling customers to reimagine where and how work
happens – and what connected ‘things’ are involved.
New Citrix innovations include enhanced user experience
capabilities in a unified, secure digital workspace; new mobile,
software-defined networking and analytics services in the Citrix
Cloud and advanced document workflows. In addition, Citrix is
introducing a new intelligent security framework geared to secure
and simplify access and control of the apps and data people need to
work.
“The industry continues its rapid shift toward cloud and
mobile-first strategies to boost workforce productivity and drive
end user satisfaction. In fact, recent IDC research shows that in
2019 enterprises will spend $2.1 trillion on technology and
services to implement and manage digital transformation
initiatives,” said Robert Young, research director, IT Service
Management and Client Virtualization Software, IDC. “To help drive
customer success in the future of work, Citrix has an opportunity
to create exceptional end user experiences while providing IT with
empowering tools to drive change, processes and policies.”
Simplifying the User Experience to Fuel Productivity
Gartner says organizations currently using cloud services
indicate they are allocating 40 percent of their IT budget to
cloud-related spending (including cloud-related services).
Seventy-eight percent of these organizations plan to increase their
spending on cloud through 2017.2 This proliferation of cloud
technologies is frustrating end users that must navigate multiple
cloud services, apps, and data sources as well as disparate access
methods and credentials. Meanwhile, shadow IT increases these
challenges by adding even more unsanctioned apps and tools. This,
in turn, increases service complexity and the risk of security
breaches as users circumvent IT standards.
To fuel productivity, Citrix is introducing an enhanced secure
digital workspace user experience, which unifies access and
management of mobile, SaaS, web and Windows apps and documents, and
consolidates access, control and workflows in one, easy-to-use
solution. With a single sign-on using any federated identity,
employees gain simple, secure access to a seamless, consistent
experience on any device. Unlike other solutions, the Citrix secure
digital workspace is designed to be contextual, ensuring employees
have the optimal balance of security, productivity and performance
based on location, device, identity and other analytics.
The new workspace experience is also the only solution to
include advanced content collaboration, information rights
management and business workflow capabilities. From directly within
the secure digital workspace, users can create, edit and
collaborate on Office 365 online documents. They can then initiate
a custom workflow and approval process with colleagues – all
without leaving the workspace, and without having to
re-authenticate as they switch between SaaS applications.
Providing Enhanced Security and Analytics
As organizations plan for their future, security continues to be
a top priority. A recent global survey focused on security and IT
professional found that 73 percent say data management, 76 percent
say configuration management and 72 percent say app management are
the keys to reducing the security risk over the next two years in
building a new IT infrastructure.3
The expanding and changing enterprise security perimeter – with
new endpoints, locations, data sources, networks and clouds – is
creating the need for more intelligence in orchestrating security
policies across this new security perimeter. In addition, IT
organizations need the ability to enforce those policies. Citrix
addresses these evolving security needs with a new and unique
approach that’s built around the reality of how people work. This
approach provides expanded controls to form the basis for a new
software-defined perimeter of the digital workspace, and
complements other layers of defense in a multi-layer approach to
security. In addition, to provide security-focused offerings to
help Citrix customers better protect their Citrix environments,
Citrix Consulting Services is formalizing a Security Practice.
Today, Citrix is unveiling Citrix Analytics, a new, holistic
security and behavior analytics offering that extends the
capabilities of the proven Citrix NetScaler Management and
Analytics System (MAS) with new behavior detection, insights, and
proactive risk resolution capabilities. This new offering leverages
machine learning. The new security solution analyzes data sets
across the Citrix product portfolio – XenApp/XenDesktop, XenMobile,
ShareFile, NetScaler and leverages machine learning algorithms and
application behavior anomaly detection technology to enable IT
organizations to find and quickly troubleshoot application
infrastructure performance issues.
Meeting Customers Wherever They Are on Their Cloud Adoption
Journey
Citrix Cloud continues to provide the cloud-based management
plane across all Citrix technologies, integrating them with a
simple, consistent administrative experience. This empowers
customers to easily combine the applications, data and tools needed
to work from the cloud and deliver them to people anywhere in
secure, personalized and contextually relevant ways. Because Citrix
Cloud is designed to manage multi-cloud environments, customers who
use it for virtual apps, desktops and data can place their
workloads on any public or hybrid cloud, or on any on-premises
virtualized environment.
Citrix has accelerated innovation in the cloud, with the
introduction of new services, features and capabilities to build
out this powerful workspace delivery model. These services include
XenApp Essentials and XenDesktop Essentials that are native to
Microsoft Azure, but managed from Citrix Cloud. Additional Citrix
Cloud services include XenMobile device management and app
management and NetScaler Gateway Service, allowing customers to
create a gateway-in-the-cloud, speeding and simplifying
implementation. In addition, Citrix Cloud offers integration with
Azure Active Directory for administrators, internet of things (IoT)
capabilities, and other new services in our labs area.
Customers, like ÅF, are creating secure digital workspaces
through Citrix Cloud. ÅF was founded in 1895 as The Southern
Swedish Steam Generator Association and has been at the forefront
of engineering, energy, and industrial design ever since. The firm
has recently revealed how it uses gaming engine and virtual reality
software to create 3-D, walk-through visualizations for clients on
building and infrastructure projects.
“By adopting a Citrix Cloud solution running workloads on
Microsoft Azure, we have created a new way of working at
ÅF. This solution gives us the agility we need to respond to
business needs, whether giving our engineers remote
access to using resource-intensive applications like CAD,
or integrating the acquisition of a specialist consulting
firm,” said Mattias Jadesk�ld, innovation team leader, ÅF. “With
Citrix Cloud, we have created the collaborative workplace that
enables our employees to work freely from anywhere on any
device.”
“To be efficient and successful, organizations need to provide
their people with a simple, unified and consistent user experience
on any device with intelligent security that’s designed to deliver
the workspace of the future,” said PJ Hough, senior vice president,
product, Citrix. “To protect and sustain business operations,
enterprises need powerful new security analytics that predict
potential risks and enable managers to proactively address them.
Today, we are introducing new products and services that our
customers can use to embrace the future of work, increase
productivity and tap into the latent potential of their
workforces.”
