Citrix Workspace Cloud combines on-premises and cloud while allowing IT to create secure, mobile workspaces that include desktops, applications and data from whatever infrastructure source best meets their specific needs. All management is done through the cloud, giving organizations the flexibility and security they need in order to architect, design, deploy, and publish easy-to-use mobile workspaces to anyone, anywhere, and on any device.

With Workspace Cloud customers can choose which cloud or data center resources best fit their needs. Then they can customize and personalize the workspace with the data, files, and features that work best for the given use and business. This customization should simplify management while gaining greater value from Citrix investments. 

Benefits of working in conjunction with Citrix Workspace Cloud include:

  • Automatically integrate with other Citrix products and services
  • Speed deployment and time to production value
  • Select a cloud infrastructure provider, should that best meets the needs of business and IT
  • Ensure that app and desktop virtualization is always up to date, with the latest updates and features
  • Scale application and desktop services up or down to meet demand or change requirements
  • Centrally manage apps and desktops across multiple resource locations more easily

Availability

Citrix is currently offering a "test drive" that allows up to five users to subscribe and use Citrix pre-designed workspaces.
