As companies look to optimize their investments in desktop and application delivery technology, IT departments are looking for opportunities to improve productivity, user experience and overall management of their environment. Next generation workspace platforms will be key in addressing some of the challenges inherent in traditional approaches to virtualization.
Over time, virtual workspace infrastructure has become increasingly complex as it addresses the growing demands of the organization. Management of the environment is often very time consuming and costly with delays in ensuring projects are fully deployed and software versions kept up-to-date.
Maximize your existing investment and bring the infrastructure under control with a proven systematic, flexible and automated methodology for deployment and management. With Flexxible IT any version of Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop can now co-exist via a single, simple to use management console.
In a virtualized world with lots of moving parts, it has traditionally been difficult to validate how well your platform is delivering business applications to your users. As a result, problems are often only discovered long after they have impacted on user experience.
Aggregated real-time and historical user data provides deep insight into application and desktop usage in a single console view. Administrators can proactively manage the resources to ensure optimum user performance and availability. With all the data at your fingertips you can take full control of your environment helping you to scale and optimize the platform as the business grows.
It is commonly accepted that the experience of users is governed by the performance of their business applications. The challenge of many virtual workspace projects is the perception that performance has been degraded compared to their physical PC. As a result, user acceptance is often low and can be the root cause of project failure.
To protect the end-user experience, the Flexxible IT solution provides a way to constantly monitor the performance and availability of the virtual workspace infrastructure and applications. IT administrators have all the tools they need to deliver a program of continuous improvement to the user experience over time.
Citrix technology simplifies security and compliance by enabling IT to create a software-defined perimeter that combines secure access to apps and data with contextual control. Flexxible IT further strengthens this perimeter with a proprietary automation framework, avoiding configuration issues which could endanger the platform.
Having the software and hardware layer tightly integrated in a highly controlled locked-down environment strengthens the solution, avoiding future risks. The server centric architecture and automation features assist in hardening the security controls required by PCI and GDPR regulations, ensuring governance and compliance is more easily achieved.
