Today, Citrix celebrated with our partners the unveiling exciting new client computing devices that leverage the HDX SoC initiative.
thousands of customers already using Citrix thin clients to access virtual desktops and applications provided by the Citrix infrastructure. Those customers who have successfully deployed thin clients are getting the benefits of the reduction or even elimination of their device management footprint, reduced their dependence on the management of the life cycle, and reduced their energy consumption leveraging IT resources efficiently in the room of the data center or server.
There are also many customers who watch the cost of desktop virtualization and can easily justify supporting mobile workers and BYO programs. However, when it comes to replace workstations in their offices, they can find it more difficult to justify the purchase of a thin client when the price of the end point too, after all the dust settles, could be close to the cost of replacing a PC.
Delivering cost reduction
last October, at Synergy Barcelona 2011, Citrix announced HDX System on Chip initiative in partnership with Texas Instruments and NComputing to create new SoC reference designs based on ARM chipsets to accelerate HDX user experience technology in silicon. Using the acceleration based on optimized hardware rather than decoding and rendering virtual desktop traffic on a general purpose processor in software, these SoCs can deliver the user experience of thin client devices cost twice as much or more while reducing energy consumption, heat and cavity. However, not to be confused with hardware acceleration for "all the material." Devices built on the initiative HDX SoC still run a Citrix Receiver in an embedded OS that allows for updates to provide new features of the devices over time, further extend the expected life cycle.
Taking cues from the living room
This optimized delivery direction of the HD experience is not different from what many of us see play in our living rooms. Instead of collecting massive collections of videos stored in cabinets or home servers, cloud providers like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Hulu, Pandora and other storage media for us, allowing us to distribute in many cases the content in real time to our homes. This support can be displayed from TV using built "internet streaming," since most of the smartphone, tablet or computer, or through a $ 50 device from companies like Roku that plug into our TVs. It is this revolution in entertainment cloud services and low-cost reader, low power -. long life of the battery exceeded the electronics industry consumer devices that Citrix can now exploit to optimize endpoint devices for desktop virtualization
