Citrix XenDesktop 4 Wins InfoWorld 2010 Technology of the Year Award"Citrix XenDesktop 4
The taming of the corporate desktop is arguably one of the industry's failures over the past decade. No matter how many strides are made in the datacenter, the user experience is largely unchanged: Most companies are still running Windows XP on a local desktop. Citrix XenApp (formerly Presentation Server, formerly MetaFrame) and terminal services in general have been around for seeming eons, but in general-purpose deployments, there were always pitfalls and corner cases that made full-scale adoption problematic, if not impossible.
For some use cases such as call centers and data entry, Citrix has always been an excellent solution, but that's of small comfort to a corporation trying to control costs and reduce complexity by using thin clients on every desktop, regardless of the users' application requirements and workload. Pity the poor user who needs more.
After acquiring XenSource in 2007, Citrix pushed forward with a three-pronged approach to this problem. By leveraging their tried-and-true application virtualization technology alongside application streaming and finally virtual desktop infrastructure, they can now claim to cover all the bases. Building on XenApp, XenDesktop weaves together all of these technologies, allowing the shortcomings of each to be overtaken by the advantages of another.
If an application cannot function normally in a traditional Citrix farm, it can be run on a virtual desktop system under Xen or VMware, with the application seamlessly piped to the client. If the application can be streamed, it can be pulled from that particular pool. The cost to implement is high, but the rewards can be great with the right deployment.
Perhaps there is some light at the end of the corporate desktop tunnel after all."
