The flexibility litmus test -

This week is the annual Citrix Summit conference that we hold for our channel partners every year and I have conversations with partners from around the world, I think a lot about the importance of flexibility. have developed as app delivery and VDI infrastructure, there has been a need to integrate and manage more data than ever before, thereby reducing costs and complexity more difficult to control more pieces. Unfortunately, infrastructure software and hardware vendors only this increase when. Only for specific environments and applications to limit their offers

Today's CIOs consider lower cost, reduced complexity and data security among their key priorities. As a former CIO, all these characteristics of the "litmus test" were used, I mean buying decisions filtering. But a word that is not always get flexibility - and that is important. Citrix is ​​known for delivering innovative and secure solutions to reduce the cost and complexity and simplify the end-user experience. Adding flexibility will only increase the benefits of each of these elements.

reflection on the purpose of this summit event week, I realized that a big factor for us to help that offer the flexibility, the vast Citrix partner ecosystem, including the participants in our VDI capacity and Citrix Ready programs and our key Global Partners. our technology partners the freedom by to use their unique performance and configuration advantages are better equipped to help us for the provision of mobile workspaces the widest range of optimized solutions that offer.

This week we presented two initiatives that drive help that commitment forward. First, we acquired a company called Sanbolic. The software-defined storage technology allows customers to optimize the delivery of app-specific workloads of each media type - SSD, flash and hard drives in NAS, SAN, server-side and cloud deployments. This improves the storage load balancing and application availability and provides a powerful end-user experience. More than 0 customers already use Sanbolic non-stop availability and geo-clustering their XenApp and XenDesktop solutions to ensure.

We also announced that we are working with our technology partners, packaged WorkspacePod to develop offers that are integrated compute, storage and network (often convergent or hyper converged solutions called) to the cost and complexity for the to reduce provision of Windows, Web and Linux applications. These "pods" can be used as a standalone device or in a mesh configuration within a data center and in remote regional or branch offices so customers rich applications and desktops for thousands of users with high availability and enterprise-class integrated storage to provide skills. First, we are working with HP WorkspacePod Powered by HP to offer that integrates to deliver the HP ProLiant Moonshot platform and the HP ProLiant SL4540 server Rich applications and desktops with exceptional value, performance and flexibility Citrix workplace infrastructure software.

The Citrix starts 2015 with these important announcements, I continue to work on the many ways to be excited to enable new ways. Citrix has some fantastic innovations coming this year and I look forward to you to say more about them
