Citrix has been in business since 1989 and today is the leader in virtual access technology for businesses. What began as a small tech company running in the red for six years has matured into a major enterprise through a series of smart acquisitions and continuous development of its products, and a little help from its friend, Microsoft.

With the popularity of Cloud Computing increasing daily, the newest Citrix software products, XenDesktop and XenApp, are increasingly used by companies to allow employees to run a broad range of programs on their mobile devices seamlessly, raising effectiveness and productivity. Huge companies like Deutsche Bank, Mutual of Omaha and Kindred Healthcare rely on XenApp to enable flexible computing by employees all over the country and around the world. Why is Citrix the go-to solution? Let’s take a look at the things that really matter to companies, and the ultimate end users.

One of the top reasons that Citrix is becoming so popular is that Citrix administrators are highly experienced and can deliver a virtual environment quickly, without the user needing any particular technical savvy. Some administrators can set up thin clients by delivering SCCM-like software to them, and the application icons appear on their desktop for use. Other times, a Citrix receiver is needed, but it is relatively simple to install. Companies like Kindred Healthcare utilize XenApp for electronic medical records (EMR) because it gives each user access to mega computing power on a PC or handheld tablet, giving doctors and nurses the patient’s detailed medical data right in their room efficiently and securely. Managing a Citrix environment can be a challenging task, taking IT engineers from their core business tasks. This is why more and more healthcare providers are turning to HIPAA Compliant Hosting providers to can securely launch their applications to the cloud.

Another reason Citrix is becoming so popular is because it virtually eliminates downtime, an extremely important consideration for many of the government entities, colleges and hospitals that rely on that dependability. Because its infrastructure has been purposely built in a way that servers can be taken offline without impacting applications and other servers, maintenance and updates can be completed without users being inconvenienced at all. Combine this set up with a

A third motivation for using Citrix is a purely financial one. Without massive customized programs running on dozens, maybe hundreds, of individual desktop PCs, there will be less need for the IT help desk! What this means for a company using XenApp or XenDesktop is greater employee productivity and reduced or nearly eliminated support costs.

Overall, Citrix has been the leader in application virtualization for more than a decade, solidifying its position still further when it acquired XenSource in 2007. Many of the world’s largest companies depend on Citrix because it offers the most depth of experience in this area, but is capable of dynamic change for maximum efficiency; the company can handle the millions of virtual desktops that are added to the business landscape annually with its unique scalability, uptime and management features. XenApp and XenDesktop, along with their smooth cloud computing interfaces, have positioned Citrix at the forefront of business communications for the foreseeable future.
