XenMobile Supports Android for Work; Extends
Citrix Leadership in Secure Mobile
Workspace Solutions for the Broadest Array of
Devices
Citrix today announced an extension of its long-standing
collaboration with Google by providing XenMobile support for
Android for Work. This announcement builds on the multi-year
collaboration between Citrix and Google that includes virtual app
and desktop delivery on Chrome devices and existing enterprise
mobility management (EMM) support for Android smartphones and
tablets. Together, Citrix and Google empower both businesses and
government institutions with a secure, scalable, app-centric,
mobility solution that delivers exceptional user experience,
providing people with new ways to work better.
Traditional distinctions between personal and business are
quickly fading from view and people routinely use the same
smartphones, tablets and laptops across every part of their lives.
This makes it difficult for IT organizations to maintain boundaries
between personal and business content. In this era of blurred
lines, people require a secure mobile workspace that provides
instant access to their business apps, data and services on any
device over any network. Combining Citrix mobile workspace
solutions with Android and Chrome devices ensures joint customers
can deliver the security, flexibility and the experience people
need to work anytime, anywhere.
Citrix XenMobile Supports Android for Work
XenMobile delivers a comprehensive EMM solution for
Android-based tablets, smartphones and desktops. Android for Work
provides a dedicated work profile with sharing restrictions,
ensuring business data is separate and safe, while personal
information stays private. When these technologies are used
together, organizations benefit from enhanced security and
increased levels of control. Additionally, Citrix continues to
expand support for Samsung KNOX, many features of which can be used
in conjunction with Android for Work, to enable enhanced management
and control on Samsung Galaxy devices. XenMobile is unique in its
ability to offer consistent security and policies across all mobile
device platforms, including its support for FIPS 140-2 encryption
and compliance standards.
Citrix and Google Deliver Market Leading Enterprise Mobility
Solutions
Citrix and Google are leading the move to an app-centric,
mobile-first world. The two companies have been working together
since 2011 to deliver business apps to the first Chromebooks. With
Citrix XenApp and Citrix Receiver for Chrome, organizations across
industries can securely deliver company controlled Windows, Web and
SaaS apps and data to Chromebook users around the world. Today,
both companies further expanded on this partnership with
XenMobile’s participation in Android for Work. Now, customers have
the flexibility to choose, manage and secure any of the latest
Samsung and Android-based smartphones, tablets or Chromebooks and
deliver complete mobile workspace solutions to enable higher
productivity for users.
