The worldwide Citrix Synergy 2011 conference is in San Francisco this week, and one of its key themes revolves around the Citrix® Desktop Transformation Model – where the ‘wow’ meets the ‘how’ of desktop virtualization.
When I first heard the phrase “From Wow to How,” it sounded like typical marketing lingo. But I have to say that this phrase has really grown on me. I believe that – in just four words – it aptly describes what’s needed for the success of desktop virtualization and neatly sums up of the purpose of the Citrix Desktop Transformation Model. Plus, it’s kind of catchy!
Well, today, I’m excited to share that Xangati will be contributing its own special ‘wow’ and ‘how’ and adding value to the Citrix Desktop Transformation Model. Xangati will be helping customers with their operational needs including monitoring and management tools . The operational tools are critical for Citrix customers to successfully plan and implement desktop virtualization.
When you look at the possibilities of desktop virtualization, you can’t help but be struck by the wow factor. Consider the business promises. Secure access to corporate data and applications from almost anywhere and from any device. Streamlined operations. Maximum flexibility for future growth as needed. Increased user productivity and minimized costs.
With so much potential wow to be experienced, there is certainly ample inspiration to develop the technologies that enable the how. The Citrix Synergy conference is a platform that provides us with even more inspiration. The effect that you have together is much greater than the effect you can have by yourself. By gathering with other desktop virtualization experts, hearing directly from users about their day-to-day challenges and listening to some of the most prominent thought leaders in the industry, we achieve a higher synergy.
We are on the cusp of another technology transition – where methodologies are shifting and changing the way that we conduct our business and go about our everyday lives. The model that Citrix has developed understands that a change is occurring and is focused on making the transition as successful and as easy as possible for its customers and partners.
The Desktop Transformation Model leverages broad industry partnerships and tens of thousands of supported products to give customers the confidence that they need to implement desktop virtualization. With the addition of the Xangati VDI Dashboard, customers now have the ability to frame the entire desktop environment – both in and outside of the virtual infrastructure – to a scale not previously possible – and with real-time and continuous health assessments that visually alert the team to any potential problem area. To borrow again from Citrix, it’s a big ‘wow’ and a ‘how.’
As part of the Desktop Transformation Model, the Citrix XenDesktop® with Flexcast™ delivery technology allows customers the choice and flexibility to choose the desktop technology that best meets the needs of each particular group of users – whether they need a mobile desktop virtualization solution or the ability to work from home.
Although their specific needs are different, Xangati can ensure that each end user operates in perfect harmony by providing the most comprehensive infrastructure performance management solution available.
Xangati will continue to make our technologies available to you in the broadest way possible – through participation in programs such as the Citrix Desktop Transformation Model that not only move our own solution forward but also the entire industry.
There are many different pieces that bring about the how. But don’t underestimate the motivational power that from understanding the impact that you can make in this changing technology ecosystem. At Xangati we are very focused on that impact.
