Citrix Introduces New Cloud Solutions

By TechTaffy Desk

Citrix introduced new cloud solutions at the Citrix Synergy industry conference currently going on in Los Angeles, California.

Citrix XenDesktop  7  – The latest version of the Citrix XenDesktop solution helps businesses mobilize Windows apps and desktops and deliver them as a service to any mobile device.

Built on a new, cloud-style architecture, XenDesktop 7 is simple to deploy, manage and support with purpose-built and timesaving installation, configuration and automation tools, says Citrix. 

Citrix XenMobile Enterprise  – The introduction of the Citrix XenMobile Enterprise Edition solution combines mobile device, app and data management, a unified corporate app store, Worx Mobile productivity apps and ‘one-touch’ live support into a solution for delivering mobile services to business.

Worx Mobile apps include WorxMail for secure e-mail, calendar and contacts, WorxWeb for secure web browsing, and the ShareFile data sharing solution for secure document sharing, sync and editing. Additional Worx-enabled Citrix mobile apps include GoToMeeting, GoToMyPC for secure remote access to a PC or Mac and Podio for team collaboration on any mobile device.

Through a new mobile app market built for XenMobile, more than 60 mobility companies will deliver Worx-enabled apps.

Citrix ShareFile –  ShareFile StorageZone Connectors introduce additional features to the Citrix ShareFile data sharing solution, including support for Microsoft SharePoint and network drives.

ShareFile also includes a built-in mobile content editor, which now supports standard SharePoint functions like check-out, edit and check-in from mobile devices. New StorageZone options with Microsoft Windows Azure offer IT the added flexibility to store data in Microsoft hosted datacenters, in addition to Citrix-managed clouds or on-premise within their own datacenters.
