 "Citrix Unveils HDX Technology For XenDesktop, XenApp")
Citrix Systems has unveiled Citrix HDX technology for Citrix XenDesktop and Citrix XenApp, a broad set of capabilities that provide users with an enhanced ‘high-definition experience’ for virtual desktops and applications. Citrix HDX technology builds on existing Citrix user experience innovations, adding enhancements for multimedia, voice, video and 3D graphics.
Additionally, HDX includes advanced ‘adaptive orchestration’ technology that senses underlying capabilities in the data centre, network and device, and dynamically optimises performance across the end-to-end delivery system to fit each unique user scenario. This open, adaptive design also allows HDX-enabled products XenDesktop and XenApp to leverage the latest user experience innovations developed by third-party software, server, device and processor partners.
Advanced Optimisation Technologies from Data Centre to Device
Citrix HDX for XenDesktop and XenApp includes a broad set of technologies designed to enable a high-definition user experience for virtual desktops and applications. These technologies reside across the entire end-to-end delivery system.
HDX in the data centre is designed to leverage the processing power and scalability of servers to deliver advanced graphical and multimedia performance, regardless of the capabilities of the end point device. HDX on the network is designed to incorporate advanced optimisation and acceleration capabilities such as the Citrix ICA virtual delivery protocol and other third-party technologies to deliver a great user experience over any network, including high-latency, low-bandwidth environments. HDX at the device is designed to leverage the computing capacity of endpoint devices to enhance user experience in an efficient manner.
There are six categories of HDX technologies that work together in concert to provide the best experience for all user scenarios. Each of these six categories includes a broad range of new and existing technologies that extend throughout the Citrix Delivery Centre product family.
- HDX MediaStream – Accelerates multimedia performance by sending compressed streams to endpoints and playing them locally.
- HDX RealTime – Enhances real-time communications using advanced bi-directional encoding and streaming technologies to ensure a no compromise end-user experience.
- HDX 3D – Optimises the performance of everything from graphics-intensive 2D environments to advanced 3D geospatial applications using software- and hardware-based rendering in the data centre and on the device.
- HDX Plug-n-Play – Enables simple connectivity for all local devices in a virtualised environment, including USB, multi-monitor, printers and user-installed peripherals.
- HDX Broadcast – Ensures high-performance acceleration of virtual desktops and applications over any network, including high-latency and low-bandwidth environments.
- HDX IntelliCache – Optimises performance and network utilisation for multiple users by caching bandwidth-intensive data and graphics throughout the infrastructure and transparently delivering them as needed from the most efficient location.
