The Evolution of Citrix Technologies<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"Citrix<\/a>Monitoring the Citrix Workspace can be done with native tools or third-party monitoring tools. eG Innovations has been a Citrix partner since 2003, helping companies deliver better end-user experiences by proactively monitoring their Citrix Workspaces. Back in 2003, Citrix\u2019s messaging was around \u201caccess\u201d. Thin client computing and then server-based computing were the hot topics. Discussions around the efficiency of RDP and ICA ruled and Citrix Resource Manager was the best way to monitor a Citrix server. What was then Citrix MetaFrame<\/strong>\u00a0soon became\u00a0Citrix Presentation Server<\/strong>, then\u00a0Citrix XenApp<\/strong>, and now\u00a0Citrix Virtual Apps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Citrix and the industry have come a long way since then. No longer is Citrix a single product company.\u00a0Citrix Virtual Desktops<\/strong>\u00a0is the technology that enables delivery of hosted virtual desktops provisioned.\u00a0Citrix StoreFront<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0provides a customizable web front-end to access applications. Rather than dealing with individual server instances, one can now rely on\u00a0Citrix Provisioning\u00a0<\/strong>to stream the operating system. Licensing is now centrally handled by a\u00a0Citrix License server<\/strong>. And virtualization has become the norm with\u00a0Citrix Hypervisor<\/strong>\u00a0(previously called\u00a0Citrix XenServer<\/a>) being one of the hypervisor choices. To optimize remote access,\u00a0Citrix ADC (previously NetScaler)<\/strong>\u00a0now plays a key role. All security, load balancing, tunneling and other networking features are centralized in NetScaler.<\/p>\n

\"Citrix<\/a>To provide access through mobile devices,\u00a0Citrix Endpoint Management (previously XenMobile)<\/strong>\u00a0plays an important role. Enterprise storage can now be managed using\u00a0Citrix Content Collaboration (previously ShareFile)<\/strong>, with the data being stored entirely in the cloud, or on premises on storage zones. And now, customers can even spin up Virtual Apps instances in the cloud, on demand.\u00a0Citrix Cloud<\/strong>\u00a0allows customers to provision applications and desktops in the cloud.<\/p>\n

The use cases of Citrix technologies are also many. Bring your own device (BYOD), FlexWork, remote partner access to sensitive data in a secure manner, call center transformation to lower costs, corporate access from anywhere at any time, desktop replacement initiatives, etc., are some of the popular initiatives where organizations are using Citrix technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Citrix Digital Workspace?<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Citrix digital workspace is an integrated technology framework for delivering and managing the delivery of applications, data, and desktops. Leveraging multiple technologies, a Citrix digital workspace provides a unified, contextual, and secure experience for IT and end users.<\/p>\n
