Citrix Delivery Center provides application, desktop and server virtualization, giving IT organizations tremendous flexibility to move application and desktop resources to where they are most needed while maximizing the efficiency and utilization of existing servers, networks, PCs and storage infrastructure.

• Application virtualization – with XenApp – is a Windows application delivery system that manages applications in the datacenter and delivers them as an on-demand service to users anywhere using any device. XenApp reduces the cost of application management by up to 50 percent, delivers any application instantly to users anywhere and improves application and data security.

• Desktop virtualization – with XenDesktop – is a desktop virtualization system that centralizes and delivers desktops as a service to users anywhere, reduces desktop TCO up to 40 percent and improves data security by centralizing desktop lifecycle management in the datacenter.

• Server virtualization – with XenServer – is the simplest and most effective way to virtualize servers and deliver server workloads on-demand to both virtual and physical servers-–enabling a truly dynamic datacenter.

Without end-to-end virtualization, IT generally ends up massively over-provisioning, buying too much bandwidth, adding too many servers and refreshing PCs on an increasingly short life cycle just to keep up with growing application requirements.

Citrix Delivery Center virtualization solutions enable dramatic improvements in IT responsiveness, IT economics and the promise of IT becoming a competitive advantage. Learn more from leading analysts about the value of end-to-end-virtualization:
