Delivering Value and Choice

David Messina, VP Marketing and Product Management, Xangati

When you’re offered both value and choice, what’s not to like?

Xangati has just added to the value proposition offered through our recently launched virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) dashboard. Today I’m excited to announce that the Xangati VDI Dashboard has been verified as Citrix Ready®—giving even more choices to our partners and customers.

The Citrix Ready program makes it easy for managers to identify complementary products and solutions that are ideally suited for Citrix environments. The Xangati VDI Dashboard completed a rigorous verification process to ensure that it worked effectively within the XenDesktop® environment to achieve this status.

Because all of our infrastructure performance management (IPM) solutions are already specifically designed to work within a range of virtual environments—including, of course, Citrix—Xangati enjoyed a solid baseline at the start of the process. Giving our partners and customers choice through interoperability has always been a high priority.

But, having the Xangati VDI Dashboard validated through the Citrix Ready program gives us another advantage through an alliance that showcases and recommends products for their demonstrated compatibility with XenDesktop and other Citrix solutions. This broadens our market exposure—and through us—our partners’ visibility as well.

For example, Xangati will now be included in many Citrix Ready marketing and sales programs that are relied on by more than 230,000 Citrix customers as a way to find virtualization solutions that are recommended by Citrix. All of these programs make it easier and faster for customers to be informed about Citrix trusted solutions and make qualified purchasing decisions.

In addition to sales and marketing initiatives, Xangati will also receive special access to technology programs, including technical support packages and technical webinars—giving us more insight to enhance the Citrix-compatible solutions we offer you. By participating as a member, we obtain certain privileges that allow us to improve our products and support for you in these environments.

With the introduction of our Xangati VDI Dashboard, we achieved a huge technology milestone for moving VDI forward with our powerful, patent-pending performance health engine. Our real-time health engine is absolutely one-of-a-kind in its ability to automatically and visually alert VI administrators about the health of every client, desktop, network link, host, VDI protocol and IT server that can impact VDI performance.

Thanks to this new health engine and the other high-level features that you’ve come to expect from us, the Xangati VDI Dashboard is the first solution available to manage VDI to operational scale. This product moves the industry forward in terms of providing meaningful technology innovation that can be used for real-world large-scale implementation.

In the same way that we move the technology forward, we must move the business forward, too. It is essential that we stay connected and involved in programs that propel our growth and yours—like the Citrix Ready program. This connectedness opens doors for us, so that we can then open up doors for you.

I really see joining the Citrix Ready program as yet another way for us to provide our partners and customers value and choice—so that we are not only a technology differentiator but also a business differentiator.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about our involvement in the Citrix Ready program. And, in the meantime, don’t forget to enter our Great VDI Dashboard Giveaway to experience our health performance engine first hand!
