It was an honor to represent Citrix at Cisco’s first live studio audience TechWise TV broadcast to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of HyperFlex.

Citrix was the only technology partner featured amidst more than 200 live attendees and 3200+ online viewers. I provided my perspective on the simplicity and flexibility of Citrix secure app and desktop delivery combined with Cisco HyperFlex.  Watch my whiteboarding segment on the Cisco HyperFlex TechWise TV broadcast at the 26 minute mark.

  • Standing room only! The studio was full and energy was high.
  • Each side of the room chanted “More Apps” and “Less Infrastructure” right before we started, which pumped up the audience.
