Citrix XenDesktop is a desktop virtualization solution that allows you to have your whole desktop environment stored and run not on specific computers, but on your server. With Citrix XenDesktop your operating system, your applications, and your files are all stored and run on your server and are simply projected to whatever computing device you are using.

So what are the main benefits to your business when using Citrix XenDesktop?

  1. Mobility and flexibility – With Citrix XenDesktop users will be able to login and fully experience their desktop from any PC, Mac, thin client, or Smartphone. Not only will users be able to access their desktop securely from anywhere at any time, they will be delivered a high definition experience with better reliability and higher availability than a traditional PC. In fact, XenDesktop works so well that Citrix themselves have a BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) policy. This means that employees are allowed to work on any computer they like because XenDesktop allows you to have a fast reliable experience regardless of your hardware.
  2. Lower hardware costs – When your desktop is virtualized the server does all the work, which means users can work from thin client devices lowering your hardware costs. Another result of this is a lower power bill as thin client devices are more energy efficient.
  3. Security – When using XenDesktop all your data and information remains secure of the server, so if a laptop or PC is stolen no company information will be able to be obtained from it.
  4. Growth – A new desktop can be created instantly and can be made available to employees anywhere in the world, allowing your company to grow with ease.
  5. Easier upgrades - Having a desktop virtualization solution allows you to migrate to new operating systems like Windows 7 quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively.
