USE CASE

Centralize app and desktop management

Deploy apps and desktops in hybrid environments, quickly and cost effectively

When workforces become more distributed, hybrid work continues to evolve, and applications are strewn across data centers, laptops, clouds, and SaaS vendors, what do you do? Distributed management and point solutions for specific use cases are not the answer. Instead, you need to look for solutions that aggregate disparate digital resources into one experience for end users, and one point of control for IT admins. You need centralized, unified management that empowers you to deploy new applications in the cloud while keeping some apps and data on premises for compliance. With the Citrix platform, you can achieve centralized control for IT with a unified experience for employees, while saving time and money, and improving security and user experience.

Executive summary:

Leverage Citrix for both cloud services or IT-managed control as needed, for the best combination of simplified operations and absolute control.
Consolidate policies, security, and deployment for IT while unifying the end-user experience across many different types of applications, infrastructure, and networks
Move workloads and data between cloud and on premises as the business requires without having to re-architect the solution

IT-Managed virtual apps and desktops for maximum control

For many highly regulated industries, like healthcare, government, financial institutions, and more, keeping sensitive data on premises is essential. At the same time, these organizations are also using clouds and SaaS, leading to a fractured administrative and end-user experience. With Citrix, you can unify the delivery of all apps and desktops, making it easier for IT to manage and secure.
