About Citrix XenClient
In January 2009, Citrix announced a formal agreement to develop a Xen-base, Type-1 bare metal client hypervisor technology in conjunction with Intel. The results of the joint collaboration will be the delivery of Citrix XenClient™, a local desktop virtualization platform providing new levels of security, management, and user flexibility for enterprise desktops. Citrix XenClient will be optimized for Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT), Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), and other features of Intel vPro™ technology. Citrix is integrating these technologies into their local desktop virtualization platform, providing customers the benefit of desktop virtualization solutions leveraging the virtualization and management capabilities of vPro-based desktop and laptop PCs.
XenClient will deliver key benefits to mobile/offline users including:
- Extend the benefits of hosted virtual desktops to remote, mobile, and offline users
- Allow running isolated business and personal desktops on the same device
- Provide a high definition user experience with bare-metal virtualization performance
- Allow IT to lockdown business desktops to reduce desktop management TCO
- Simplify laptop provisioning and reduce the burden of managing multiple OS images
- Provide a secure mobile computing platform with backup, policy control, and remote kill
- Provide faster recovery from field laptop failures or loss/theft
Citrix has developed a showcase for XenClient within the Citrix Community. The XenClient Underground features a variety of information, including videos, demonstrations, discussions, beta information and more. Visit http://community.citrix.com/citrixready/xenclient to learn more.
