CMS announces new Virtual Desktop Proof Of Concept Infrastructure

In reaction to the strong interest shown in the Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, CMS has invested in a complete Proof Of Concept Suite in it’s Manchester Data Centre. The POC suite will demonstrate that:

Any device, anytime, anywhere: With Citrix Receiver, XenDesktop users can access their virtual desktop and subscribe to corporate applications on-demand from any PC, Mac, thin client, tablet or smartphone. This enables virtual workstyles, device flexibility, business continuity, and user  mobility.    

Citrix HDX technology gives users an experience that rivals a local PC, even with Flash multimedia, video collaboration, USB peripherals, and 3D graphics.

Citrix FlexCast delivery technology lets you deliver desktops for any use case—from simple and standardized, to high-performance and personalized—using a single solution. With FlexCast, IT can deliver every type of virtual desktop—specifically tailored to meet the performance, security, and flexibility requirements of each user. 

With XenDesktop, you can provide your workforce with any type of application they need, including Windows, web and SaaS apps. Citrix Receiver seamlessly integrates them all into a single interface, so users only need to log on once to have secure access to all their applications.  

XenDesktop provides a powerful desktop computing infrastructure that's also easy to manage and support. The open architecture works with your existing hypervisor, storage, Microsoft, and system management infrastructures, with complete integration and automation via the comprehensive SDK. 

Rather than juggling thousands of machine images, IT can maintain one master copy of desktop images while preserving the personalization that users need. This dramatically reduces maintenance efforts and cuts datacenter storage costs up to 90 percent.  

An integrated hardened SSL VPN with advanced, policy-based access control lets you give users encrypted access to desktops, applications, and valuable intellectual property from anywhere while eliminating the risk of data theft or loss.
