View listing of Citrix Ready Desktop Appliances
The Citrix XenDesktop™ solution is the industry’s first end-to-end desktop delivery solution that accelerates the delivery of desktops to knowledge workers anywhere, enables stronger data protection and control, and reduces the cost of ownership of desktops by up to 40%.
Delivering a superior desktop experience requires seamless interoperability between Citrix XenDesktop and the endpoint device. A user should be able to hit the power button and within seconds, enter their credentials, get their virtual desktop and immediately begin working. Rich-looking graphics, multi-monitor capabilities and even multimedia enhancements will ensure that users never miss their old PCs.
The Citrix Ready™ and the Citrix XenDesktop product teams have worked together to recognize products that are not only compatible with Citrix XenDesktop, but also meet key requirements identified to provide users the best XenDesktop experience.
Introducing Desktop Appliances — a new class of devices purpose built to deliver a full desktop experience when connecting to XenDesktop in a VDI environment. Citrix collaborated closely with our partners to develop technical specifications and verification testing procedures that define standard desktop appliances and “Plus” desktop appliances. While all of these Citrix Ready devices provide simple integration with XenDesktop solutions, “Plus” desktop appliances offer even more capabilities and performance, specifically designed to best leverage and enhance the inherent performance and functionality of XenDesktop.
For IT and solution providers, selecting desktop appliances ensures out-of-the-box compatibility and smooth implementations. For end users, it means a sleek, new device that provides the responsiveness, fast log on and reliability that ensures satisfaction with their new virtual desktops.
All desktop appliances offer out-of-the-box integration with Citrix XenDesktop, while “Plus” desktop appliances provide additional capabilities.
