Users across the enterprise have diverse performance, personalization, and mobility requirements.

With XenDesktop, IT can deliver every type of virtual desktop or app, hosted or local, optimized to meet the performance, security, and mobility needs of each user while optimizing deployment costs and ongoing management.

Right Workspace - Complete Virtual Desktops or Just Apps

While some users prefer a full desktop workspace with applications, data, shortcuts, wallpaper, and multi-tasking windows across large screens or multiple displays, others may only need a specific app on their tablet or smartphone for quick tasks.

Choose Flexibility and Cost to Suit Business Needs

Desktop virtualization technology varies depending on user needs and IT goals. XenDesktop offers a range of technologies to provide the customization and persistence required by some users, as well as highly managed environments suitable for others, all while ensuring efficient resource utilization.

Run in the Cloud or Take it On-the-Go

While the primary goal of virtualization is often centralized management and hosting of desktops and apps in the datacenter, there are scenarios where users need access to documents or data when disconnected from the network. Citrix XenDesktop allows administrators to stream and synchronize an entire managed desktop OS to a local computer using XenClient hypervisor technology, ensuring complete encryption and robust policy enforcement.

Seamless Profile Management and Cloud-Based Folder Redirection

Effective scale and management of a virtual environment necessitate the separation and isolation of user profiles and data from the operating system. Citrix XenDesktop includes a powerful profile management tool that independently manages profiles from the OS, delivering required profile data on-demand to maintain swift login times. XenDesktop also employs real-time synchronization of user files from Citrix ShareFile, an on-premise or cloud-hosted storage service, enhancing login speeds and conserving storage resources.
