Today, federal agencies face an array of IT challenges, including the need to drive operational efficiencies in an increasingly complex environment. At the same time, they need to help ensure that the agency IT environment remains secure while supporting an increased emphasis on teleworking and continuity of operations (COOP).

Citrix XenClient is a secure local desktop virtualization (DV) solution designed to meet these needs. The result of a strategic collaboration between Citrix and Intel, XenClient provides a high-performance virtualization environment for mobile PCs. Citrix XenClient brings the benefits of virtualization to mobile PCs. With XenClient, government IT administrators can deliver an employee’s agency desktop to a secure virtual machine (VM) that runs directly on the XenClient hypervisor on that employee’s computer.

The combination of XenClient and laptop PCs with Intel vPro technology addresses key IT challenges federal agencies face, including the need to efficiently increase support for telework and continuity of operations. By delivering new levels of virtualization performance, security, and manageability, XenClient provides an ideal platform for transitioning from desktop to mobile computing.
