Citrix XenClient Delivers Virtual Desktops For Mobile Workers

Citrix Systems has announced the first public release of Citrix XenClient, a new client-side virtualisation solution, developed in collaboration with Intel, that allows centrally managed virtual desktops to run directly on corporate laptops and PCs, even when they are disconnected from the network.

“Corporate laptops are the last mile in extending the full benefits of desktop virtualisation to all users in the enterprise. Through our collaboration with key partners like Intel, Dell, HP and Microsoft, we are excited to begin delivering client side virtualisation that is secure by design to corporate laptop users, with all of the performance and rich user experience they expect. Today’s release of XenClient Express is the first step toward giving millions of mobile workers virtual desktops to go,” said Mark Templeton, President and CEO, Citrix Systems.

“There is tremendous momentum behind desktop virtualisation as a strategic method for delivering desktops to all users in the enterprise. With the release of XenClient, customers will benefit from the security and flexibility that the technology brings to both IT and mobile laptop end users,” said Steve Lalla, Vice President and General Manager, Client Product Group, Dell. “XenClient is a key enabler of Dell’s Flexible Computing Solutions today such as Virtual Remote Desktop and we are working with Citrix to develop an integrated solution for our customers to extend the power of virtualisation to all enterprise users.”
