How XenDesktop works

Citrix® XenDesktop® virtualizes desktops and delivers them to users on any device. With XenDesktop, the user's virtual desktop environment is dynamically assembled to optimize the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Citrix® HDX™ technology ensures that users receive a no-compromise experience that is indistinguishable from a locally installed desktop.

Dynamic desktop assembly

 

Delivered with HDX technology
Users access their virtual desktops from almost any corporate PC, thin client, Mac, netbook, or smartphone, using Citrix Receiver™. Once they authenticate, users will get the same, high-performance virtual desktop every time.   Each user’s desktop can leverage virtualization to separate the OS, applications, and user personalization settings. Each element can be dynamically combined for each user session, ensuring that users receive the most up-to-date, pristine version of each.   For hosted desktops, HDX user experience technologies ensure high-performance, rich graphics, broad support for USB devices, seamless multimedia and more—over the LAN, WAN, Internet, or wireless network.
