Delivering Oracle applications with XenDesktop 4
Citrix XenDesktop offers the full range of Citrix desktop and application virtualization technologies. With Citrix virtualization, businesses can realize the full potential of their Oracle investment by providing IT the ability to control data access, manage fewer desktop images, eliminate system conflicts, and reduce application regression testing. Since the IT administrator has preconfigured the user’s desktop with the right web browser, virtual machine and other components users are ensured that their Oracle applications will work every time. In addition, single-instance management dramatically reduces on-going patch and upgrade maintenance efforts, and cuts datacenter storage costs by up to 90 percent by eliminating redundant copies.
Separating applications from desktops
XenDesktop approaches the traditional desktop deployment in a new way. Instead of requiring the IT department to manage and maintain a multitude of desktops, the Citrix desktop virtualization approach centralizes these desktops into the data center and delivers a fresh desktop to each user on demand. XenDesktop enables IT to separate the device, OS, applications and user personalization and maintain single master images of each. Instead of juggling thousands of static desktop images, IT can manage and update the OS and applications once, from one location. By separating the OS from the applications using virtualization technology, a single instance of each Oracle client application is managed in a central application repository and then delivered to the virtual desktop on demand when it’s launched by the user. This separation of application and desktop allows for simpler desktop image management and greater flexibility in the user application environment.
