Technology

Citrix Delivery Center, Citrix Cloud Center (C3) and Citrix Online Services product families simplify
computing for users, delivering applications as an on-demand service to any user, in any location on any
device.

Citrix Delivery Center, composed of XenDesktop, XenApp, XenServer and NetScaler, virtualizes servers,
desktops and applications, centralizes them in the datacenter and broadcasts them as an on-demand
service.[2]

From April 2009, Citrix has been offering its XenServer virtualisation platform for free to any user for
unlimited production deployment.[3]
Citrix Receiver is the first universal client for IT service delivery. With Citrix Receiver installed on a device
(PC, Mac, iPhone), applications and desktops can be delivered as an on-demand service with no need to
manage, own or care about the physical device or its location.[4]

Citrix Receiver is built upon the Independent Computing Architecture (ICA), a Citrix-designed proprietary
protocol for an application server system. The protocol lays down a specification for passing data
between server and clients, but is not bound to any one platform.

History

Citrix was founded in 1989 by former IBM developer Ed Iacobucci in Richardson, Texas with $3 million in
funding.[5] Iacobucci quickly moved the company to Coral Springs, Florida since he lived there when he
had worked at IBM.[5]

Citrix was originally named Citrus but changed its name after an existing company claimed trademark
rights. The Citrix name is a portmanteau of Citrus and UNIX.

Many of the original founding members had participated in the IBM OS/2 project. Iacobucci's vision was
to build OS/2 with multi-user support. IBM was not interested in this idea so Iacobucci left. Iacobucci
was offered a job at Microsoft as chief technical officer of its networking group but turned it down to
start his own company.[5]
The company's first product was Citrix MULTIUSER, which was based on OS/2. Citrix licensed the OS/2
source code from Microsoft, bypassing IBM. Citrix hoped to capture part of the UNIX market by making
it easy to deploy text-based OS/2 applications. The product failed to find a market. This was due in part
to Microsoft declaring in 1991 that it was not going to support OS/2 anymore.[5]

Roger Roberts was appointed the CEO of Citrix in 1990. Roberts, a Texan, came from Texas Instruments.

From 1989 to 1995, the company did not turn a profit. In 1989 and 1990 there was no income at all.
Between 1991 and 1993, Citrix received funding from both Intel and Microsoft as well as venture
capitalists. Without the help of this funding, Citrix would not have survived.[5]

In 1993, Citrix purchased the product "Netware Access Server" from Novell. It was a remote access
application built on DOS and Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager. It provided desktop and
applications from the server to multiple users in a similar way Terminal Servers still do. Citrix developed
the product further and released it as WinView. It became Citrix's first successful product.

The company went public in December 1995

Od 1989 do 1995, tvrtka nije okrenuti na dobit. Godine 1989 i 1990 nije bilo prihoda na sve. Između 1991
i 1993, Citrix dobila sredstva iz oba Intel i Microsoft, kao i venture kapitalista. Bez pomoći ovog
financiranja, Citrix ne bi preživio. [5]
