Citrix XenClient is a high-performance, bare-metal hypervisor that enables users to run multiple instances of an operating system simultaneously, side-by-side, and in complete isolation. XenClient uses the same core technology as Citrix XenServer—a proven technology widely acknowledged as the fastest and most secure virtualization software available. To ensure the highest levels of performance for the user, XenClient builds on Intel’s 3rd Generation Core vPro hardware virtualization technology.
Desktop virtualization is attractive to organizations of all types and sizes worldwide because of its many compelling benefits. One issue that arises, however, is the gap in coverage for mobile laptop users. With the introduction of Citrix XenClient, this gap no longer exists. Through our joint partnership with Intel, customers can benefit from an innovative, client-side alternative for delivering virtual desktops that takes advantage of Intel’s virtualization and management capabilities on Intel Core desktops and laptops with Intel vPro technology and allows IT to extend the benefits of desktop virtualization to laptop users whether or not online.
The goal of client virtualization is to provide secure desktops with the flexibility and freedom users demand to carry out their business and personal computing needs. Citrix XenClient enables this vision by taking advantage of Intel vPro technology—a collection of powerful manageability solutions found on Intel’s 3rd Generation Core vPro processor technology.
