6 TOP REASONS TO PROVE THAT CITRIX IS BEST FOR DESKTOP

VIRTUALIZATION

To start with, let’s have a look at the prominence of XenApp and the real reasons as to why
XenApp should be used in a Desktop Virtualization platform.

Desktop Virtualization has been considered as a strategic move for basically enhancing the IT
effectiveness of an organization. Desktop Virtualization basically provides a sort of solid,
reliable and processed framework through which activities in connection with the virtual
machines are completely streamlined for further increasing the systems performance.

Some organizations think that to coherently use Desktop Virtualization, Virtual desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) has to be strongly considered for successful implementation of Desktop
Virtualization. But then it is partly true as because VDI plays a strategic role only to some
extent in the case of Desktop Virtualization.

Now, when it comes to implementing Desktop virtualization under a Citrix Framework, then
there is an altogether a unique and highly capable functionality that comes into perspective.

In the case of meeting with all the Desktop Virtualization requirements, Citrix Flexcast
technology is being strongly considered and also used. Flexcast has the capability of both
Citrix XenApp and Citrix Desktop.

Flexcast technology is built in a way that it is able to deliverVirtual desktop and applications
along with the required security standards, which is completely in line with the requirements
of the various workers of an organization, regardless of their position.

Such is the power of Citrix Flexcast which not only simplifies the entire process, but at the
same timeprovides a hassle-free and streamlined connected approach, through which
multiple systems can effectively communicate and work in a coordinated manner.

Citrix Flexcast not only perfectly examines a range of Virtual Desktops and applications
issues, but at the same time provides in-depth solutions that can ease and provide a proper
workable structure to all the functionalities pertaining to Desktop Virtualization. This will in
turn benefit user personalization, management and cost-effectiveness.

LET’S HAVE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE TOP REASONS AS TO WHY CITRIX XENAPP
SHOULD BE USED FOR DESKTOP VIRTUALIZATION:

1. LOWER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

This is the first and obvious step as cost reduction is critical to any organization. A single
Citrix XenApp Server can take care of around 150-200 computers whether physical or virtual.

Citrix XenApp Server is considered strongly only because of the fact that it can connect a
massive number of desktop or virtual or both computers in a reliable and robust manner.

Compared to other VDI’s, where it takes a huge lot of cost and power to connect a number
of desktop applications, but it also becomes quite tedious and time consuming as the entire
process is quite cumbersome in nature.
2. STORAGE COSTS ARE REDUCED:

Server Hardware is only one aspect of the entire larger desktop virtualization solution
Infrastructure scenario. Storage is another important aspect that plays a vital role. When it
comes to using both hosted shared and VDI based desktop deployment methods, then is
when a centralized image management technology should be used in order to accelerate
image deployment and simplify management.

The main benefit of centralized image management technology is that it is used for any
deployment regardless of scale. No matter the scale of deployment, the centralized image
management technology is easily configurable and put ready to use.

3. COHERENT DESIGNING HAS ALSO TO BE CONSIDERED:

Through Citrix XenApp framework, all the user computing needs can be easily met but with a
hosted shared virtual desktop environment. Another viable option is Citrix with Flexcast
technology which is both competent and scalable in line with providing hosted shared
desktop environment to its users. The key that has to be considered here is to tactfully
design a Citrix environment using its suite of products that can take the entire responsibility
of hosting virtual, shared and remote desktop environments.

4. THE ADVANTAGE OF OBTAINING CITRIX LICENSE:

Though there are certain benefits that you can accrue from a Citrix platform without the
need of a license, but then if you have to go in for a full-fledged Citrix framework then is
when licensing comes into action.

Through obtaining a Citrix license, you can also avail Platinum and Enterprise editions of
Citrix.A Citrix License will give you full flexibility to go through an entire set of options that
actually empower the Citrix technology. In fact, if you’re using a licensed Citrix version then
you will be able to gain an entire range of features and benefits, which will in turn act as a
holistic virtualization solution.

5. ENHANCING XENAPP KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE CAN BE REWARDING:

It will prove to be a highly progressive scenario if the Citrix Administrators / Engineers


constantly upgrade themselves on all the latest updations of Citrix, and also gain in-depth
knowledge on the Citrix XenApp framework.

As per a research report, there are approximately 70 million users that runs on a Citrix
XenApp framework. The numbers itself clearly says what sort of capability / performance
levels does Citrix XenApp has.

6. UNDERSTANDING THE GLOBAL MARKET POTENTIAL OF CITRIX TECHNOLOGY:

As of today, after refining the Citrix Business model to a considerable extent, the scenario is
such as it almost tackles every issue pertaining to desktop virtualization.
Both XenApp and XenDesktop have been considered as an almost perfect solution for
virtualization related issues with great finesse. Companies both small and large have
identified the sheer potential of Citrix and how it can solve the organizational related IT
issues in order to improve the organizational effectiveness.
