In the fifth installment of our six-part series benefits XenClient we discussed how Citrix XenClient - VM option local XenDesktop and FlexCast delivery technology - could be used to Reuse PC thin clients . In this section, we will examine how XenClient can be used to manage laptops and PCs in the limited network environments.
Virtual offices have gained adoption among users and IT organizations and continue to be a top IT priority. This is not surprising given that virtualization is the top priority for CIOs in 2012, according to a survey by IDC. Virtual Desktops (VDI) aka hosted server provides a solution that benefits both end users and the business. VDI reduces the cost and complexity of managing desktops for IT while allowing end users to access their desktops from any device with a seamless experience.
However, sometimes the organizations can not deploy VDI due environments that are disconnected environments or have an inconsistent or limited network connectivity. The IT challenge is only expected to grow as rapidly changing workstyles lead to a number of employees working from locations with network connections disconnected or unreliable growing. Organizations are increasingly scattered and employees are increasingly choosing to work from anywhere, in any environment. A poll by Ipsos / Reuters in 2012 found that almost one in five workers worldwide telecommute frequently. Furthermore, IDC research published in 2012 forecasts that mobile employees represent almost 40% of the workforce by 2015
Citrix provides another option to provide virtual offices in areas with little or no network connectivity: XenClient. Citrix XenClient, offered as part of XenDesktop extends desktop virtualization to laptops and computers offline and provides companies with centralized management, increased reliability and high security. Users can work offline and online via a virtual desktop solution hosted on the client that runs locally on laptops and PCs - with or without a network connection. For example, an educational institution now use XenClient to ensure 100% uptime for their PC from frequent network failures led to disruptions in their learning laboratories.
Another advantage of XenClient is the ability to patch and desktops update users regardless of network connectivity or location of the user. 100% success rate patches and updates and integration with NetScaler 4.5 XenClient to ensure that users receive the latest updates to the information they are connected to the corporate network or not. Whether in the office, on the road, working from home, or working in a remote office, XenClient will give you a user experience while delivering value to the business.
