XenDesktop features by edition Citrix XenDesktop, the award-winning desktop virtualization solution, has three editions designed to enable everything from enterprise-wide desktop delivery to initial VDI-only implementations: XenClient A Client-side Hypervisor Extending Desktop Virtualisation Desktop virtualization is rapidly being adopted as the best way to deliver Windows desktops to business users. Now, with Citrix XenClient, organizations can extend the benefits of desktop virtualization to laptop users for new levels of flexibility, security and control. XenClient is a client-side hypervisor that enables virtual desktops to run directly on client devices. By separating the operating system from the underlying hardware, desktop images can now be created, secured, deployed and moved across any supported hardware, greatly reducing the maintenance burden on IT and simplifying disaster recovery for laptop users. Optimized for Intel vPro XenClient delivers the high definition experience that users expect. XenClient Features Bare-metal client hypervisor - Based on the cloud proven enterprise class Citrix XenServer, XenClient delivers near native performance with the highest levels of security for the ultimate in flexibility for users and control for IT. Citrix Receiver for XenClient - Provides users with the flexibility to create and manage virtual machines locally or connect to centralized resources to download predefined VMs for speed and convenience. Synchronizer for XenClient - Centralized configuration and deployment of local VM desktops. Define policy to restrict movement of corporate data, enable user self service recovery of backed up data, and disable virtual machines on lost or stolen devices. Secure corporate data on laptops - XenClient enables security and lockdown from the hardware up. Each virtual machine runs in complete isolation, ensuring that malware or cyber attacks cannot pass between the environments. Automatic backup and recovery - Data is backed up over a secure connection whenever the user is connected to the Internet. Lost or stolen laptops can be disabled remotely, ensuring that valuable data doesn't fall into the wrong hands. High-definition user experience - XenClient provides direct access between the virtual machine and the full graphics capabilities of the underlying hardware delivering the richest graphics experience just like a laptop. Working in close collaboration with Intel, XenClient has been designed and optimized to take advantage of VT-d technology built directly into the hardware platform. Network Increase Network Security, Scalability and Speed With XenServer in the data centre running XenApp and/or XenDesktop, and with end user devices running XenClient or Citrix Receiver, the machines at both ends of the connection are optimised. But what about the connection itself? Citrix also have products that are designed to optimise and secure data passing between the data centre and the end user: NetScaler - Accelerate Application Performance Citrix NetScaler is a Web application delivery appliance that makes applications run five times better. Available as a separate hardware network device or as a virtualized appliance, NetScaler optimizes application availability through advanced L4-7 load balancing and traffic management, accelerates performance, increases security with an integrated application firewall and substantially lowers costs by increasing Web server efficiency.
