The last year has seen digital transformation accelerate dramatically. The Citrix Ready Hybrid Multi-Cloud Program has been a big part of transforming workspace delivery, as infrastructure increasingly moves to the cloud. The public cloud has rapidly become ubiquitous, with multiple vendors offering competitive and compelling solutions. Even on-premises deployments now often use cloud models and software-defined infrastructure. Hybrid-cloud solutions are letting organizations rapidly place their infrastructure where it makes the best sense for their business, taking advantage of the latest innovative cloud offerings and competitive pricing.
As good as this sounds, many need help addressing the increased infrastructure complexity, along with growing cybersecurity concerns. Everyone from CIOs to system administrators has a stake in the outcome. To embrace this new world and speed cloud adoption requires proven and validated hybrid multi-cloud solutions. Few want to be on the vanguard of assembling an untested or unsecured solution, putting valuable data or production environments at risk. At the same time, Citrix partners need a platform to validate the interoperability of their products across multiple public cloud platforms.
The Citrix Ready Hybrid Multi-Cloud Program eases and accelerates this industry-wide shift — for both Citrix customers and partners. Citrix maintains close strategic and working relationships with all of the major public cloud vendors, and counts them as global partners. These close relationships allow partners to verify their products to assure compatibility with Citrix Cloud services along with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The result is a cloud ecosystem showcasing Citrix Cloud compatible products, validated with major public cloud providers. The program is designed to:
- Empower migrations to cloud platforms by letting businesses choose trusted and verified products on hybrid multi-cloud platforms.
- Provide reliable and secure user access to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, combining the best of Citrix technology with partner products that provide safe and reliable access to remote users and branch offices.
- Cut costs, maximize value, and modernize IT service delivery through simplification and embracing of cloud models.
