Private and hybrid clouds for the enterprise

Even in virtualized datacenters, many IT organizations still rely on manual delivery models, service tickets, approval workflows and provisioning methods that slow service delivery and limit cost efficiency.

With CloudPlatform, you can build an on-premises private cloud to deliver services easily and cost-effectively to employees, customers or partners. Self-service VMs make it simple for users to meet their own needs, while the automated orchestration of VMs, storage and network resources frees IT for higher-value work.

• Handle diverse traditional and cloud-era workloads on a single platform by organizing a private cloud into multiple availability zones, each with a different hypervisor, storage and networking configuration
• Offer multiple levels of service differentiated by reliability, scalability, security, compliance, performance, cost and other dimensions
• Increase capacity while controlling costs using Citrix CloudBridge to create a service delivery network (SDN) fabric that transparently aggregates and delivers services across enterprise datacenters and external clouds
• Gain unlimited scalability to meet business needs by connecting datacenters to any public cloud you choose—physical or virtual, any vendor—without changing how users access applications
