What is Citrix Virtual Desktop Technology?

Citrix Virtual Desktop is a desktop virtualization technology from Citrix Systems. It delivers virtualized Windows and Linux desktops to users accessing anywhere and from any device. A personally configurable Virtual Desktop is available to business users on the go. The Citrix user needs to have the Citrix Workspace App software in his/her terminal, which will communicate with the desktop VDA installed on virtual machines in the Citrix Site. To access their published desktops, Citrix users can login to their Citrix session using the web-based StoreFront or ADC.
