Desktop Virtualisation - XenDesktop

Citrix XenDesktop is a Windows desktop virtualisation and delivery system that manages desktops centrally and delivers them as an on-demand service to users anywhere, using almost any device.

XenDesktop allows an organisation's desktops to be deployed and managed from a single shared desktop image.

Desktop virtualisation is an exciting new technology that Kiandra is proud to offer as one of its core solutions for organisations.

 

Why Citrix XenDesktop?

Citrix XenDesktop revolutionises desktop deployment through hardware independence and central management.

  • Single instance desktop management - manage desktops centrally in the data centre. Maintenance and updates of desktops are performed on one central image rather than on all desktops in the organisation saving time and costs.
  • Deliver desktops to any device, anywhere - desktop access from any location or device.
  • Mobile and offline access - desktops can be accessed from anywhere even when a user is disconnected.
  • Secure by design - inherently secure architecture for delivering desktops.
  • Physical desktop experience - even when a user connects to a desktop over the network, the experience is as if the user was working on a local PC.
  • Support for client operating systems - all the latest Windows operating systems are supported including Windows 7.
  • Migration - by far the easiest way to migrate the desktop fleet from one operating system to another.
  • Multiple desktops - provide multiple or new desktops to users as they move between departments.
  • Instant deployment - deploy a new desktop in seconds.
  • Hardware utilisation - utilise aging hardware by deploying desktops that utilise the back-end infrastructure rather than client machines.
  • Foreign hardware - deploy corporate desktops to users who bring in their own laptops.
  • XenApp integration - integrate XenApp with XenDesktop to easily and quickly deploy applications to your desktop environment.
  • Virtualisation infrastructure - utilise either VMWare vSphere or Citrix XenServer virtualisation infrastructure for the desktop environment.
