Citrix is working with Google to deliver business-critical
Windows apps to Google Chromebooks. Chromebooks are experiencing
rapidly growing adoption across organizations of all types,
including many of the largest enterprises, as they look to
transition to new and innovative computing platforms. One of the
key needs for these organizations is to provide users anywhere,
anytime access to Windows apps that are critical for business, such
as line of business apps for HR, finance and sales. Chromebooks for
Business, combined with Citrix XenApp® virtual app delivery
solution and Citrix Receiver™ for HTML5, enable customers to
deliver all types of Windows apps with the high-definition user
experience of Citrix HDX™ technology, and operational scalability
for the largest organizations. In addition to secure app delivery,
Citrix adds support for collaboration with the recently announced
GoToMeeting® Free, a web-based app that gives users quick and
simple video conferencing for Chromebook users, further enhancing a
mobile workspace solution within the Chrome environment.
Chromebooks for Business with Citrix XenApp
Enterprises looking to adopt Chromebooks for their users have to
address a fundamental challenge – how to deliver all those
business-critical line-of-business apps to Chrome devices. XenApp
with the HTML5 Receiver powers Chromebooks with Windows apps, and
offers the performance, power and bandwidth efficiency of our
industry-leading HDX technology. Chromebook users get high
fidelity, seamless access over the cloud directly to Windows apps.
With millions of Windows applications hosted on XenApp already,
this helps pave the way for Chromebooks in the enterprise.
To accelerate the adoption of Chromebooks for business, Citrix
is announcing a promotional discount of 25 percent for XenApp
Platinum edition – the flagship version that also includes Citrix
AppDNA™ application management technology. AppDNA technology
simplifies and speeds up the migration for Microsoft customers from
Windows XP to the newest versions. The promotion begins today –
April 8, 2014 – the date that Windows XP reaches end-of-life.
To help customers understand the benefits of Chrome with XenApp,
Citrix and Google are running a joint educational seminar series,
the first of which is on April 22, 2014, with another on May 13,
2014. In addition, Citrix, Google and joint partner, MTM
Technologies, are holding the first in a series of customer
roadshows at Google’s New York Chelsea Market office on April 23,
2014.
Citrix and Google have been working together since Chromebooks
were first released to deliver business apps to Chromebooks. Along
with the availability since day-one of Citrix Receiver, Citrix has
built a Citrix Ready® verified ecosystem of Chromebook OEMs such as
HP, Dell, Acer, Samsung and Toshiba to help ensure that customers
can use the latest Chromebooks with the confidence that they will
work with XenApp and XenDesktop® solutions.
Quotes
Amit Singh, President, Google Enterprise
"Enterprises have been steadily adopting Google Chromebooks as
an easy-to-use and cost-effective alternative to traditional
computing platforms. Citrix and Google have been working together
since 2010 to ensure our customers have access to
enterprise-critical Windows apps in the Chrome environment. The
approaching Windows XP end-of-life brings a tremendous opportunity
for organizations of all types to rethink their approach to
computing and transition to Chromebooks for improved manageability,
security and cost savings.”
Douglas Soltesz, Vice President CIO, Budd Van
Lines
“With the unpredictable weather conditions this winter, Google
Chromebooks became the primary tool in our disaster recovery
readiness arsenal to ensure we can keep trucks moving nationwide.
Employees were given a Chromebook for use inside or outside of the
office and virtual access to their productivity, CRM and ERP apps.
Combined with Citrix virtual desktop and app delivery technology,
Chromebooks are an economical, maintenance-free computing device
that provides critical mobile access to our employees.”
Sudhakar Ramakrishna, SVP and GM, Enterprise and Service
Provider Division at Citrix
“Applications remain at the core of what business users need to
get their jobs done. Citrix has been at the forefront of enabling
technologies for delivering applications, securely, to users
regardless of their device type or location. With the growing
acceptance of new computing platforms in the enterprise, like
Chrome, we are helping Chromebook users get access to these
business-critical apps anywhere and at any time. New customer
deployments such as Woolworths, which is transitioning to
Chromebooks, is a clear demonstration of the strength of our
collaboration. We see a very bright future for Google and Citrix in
the enterprise.”
Chromebooks for Business with XenApp at Citrix
Synergy™
There will be more innovations and insights into Chromebooks for
Business with Citrix at the Citrix Synergy™ conference, which takes
place May 6-8, 2014, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Los
Angeles, California.
