Citrix to show mobile workspace solution at GITEX

Citrix has announced that it will showcase its new Workspace Suite at this year’s GITEX Technology Week.

Workspace Suite provides access to all apps, desktops, data and services from any device over any network.

Citrix enables customers to build and operate a software-defined workplace by providing them a range of mobile workspace apps and delivery infrastructure solutions.

“Mobility in the workplace has become both an expectation and necessity very quickly for businesses in the Middle East,” said Johnny Karam, Regional Vice President, Middle East and Africa, Citrix. “Until now, businesses have had to rely on disparate technologies to address desktop, mobile and app infrastructure challenges, but those standalone products are no longer meeting the needs of a newly mobilised workforce. With Citrix Workspace Suite, we have removed the barriers for business mobility thereby accelerating an organisation’s seamless transition to an environment where work happens anytime, anywhere on any device. We look forward to our participation at GITEX Week where we will connect with our customers and partners and showcase our market leading mobile workspace technologies.”

Workspace Suite supports multiple corporate or personal devices per user, and is comprised of XenApp, which aims to mobilise and secure Windows apps on any device, and XenDesktop, which does the same but for Windows desktops.

It also has XenMobile, which manages mobile, web and Software-as-a-Service apps on mobile devices.

In terms of its cloud offering, it features CloudPlatform, which orchestrates and provisions apps, desktops and IT services from any cloud.

The Citrix stand will be located in Hall 7 (Mobility) at GITEX which takes place from October 12-16 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
