OAS PARTNERS WITH CITRIX AND NUTANIX FOR ENHANCED CLOUD CAPABILITIES

By leveraging the partnership of Citrix and Nutanix, OAS can offer clients a strategy that will ensure the simplicity, flexibility, and efficiency of our support services across any cloud environment via one platform.

MODERNIZING INFRASTUCTURE - ENHANCING USER EXPERIENCE

The Challenge

Remote and /or Hybrid working environments are now considered the norm, since the Covid-19 enforced restrictions of 2020. However, implementing systems to offer remote access may have been done out of necessity and may not align with the organization’s overall Cloud strategy. In addition, new challenges with deployment, scalability, spiraling costs, and serious security risks are all factors that have risen to the fore.

The Solution

Nutanix Multi - Cloud platform combined with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (Citrix DaaS -Cloud based VDI) equals a true Hybrid Multi -Cloud environment
Citrix solution can be seamlessly integrated into the Nutanix Multi -Cloud platform

Simplifying the enablement of Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Deployments				Nutanix and Citrix Collaboration and here is why:

Leveraging Citrix VDA and Nutanix Infrastructure – enhances EUC (End User Computing) by using the same capabilities in the organization’s data centers and the Cloud.
Move Citrix workloads to the Cloud without the need for refactoring applications, changing security policies, or making other operational changes.
Using Nutanix Disaster Recover as a Service protects the Citrix environment and offers easy Cloud-based recovery.

ENHANCE END USER SECURITY

Citrix on Nutanix – high level of End User experience without compromising security.

Nutanix advanced security includes flexible encryption, and malware and ransomware protection complimenting Citrix’s granular policy control engine.
Nutanix further protection and prevention of data loss via Nutanix - Flow which uses micro segmentation to control access to and from users’ sessions and infrastructure services, greatly reducing the attack surface.

Combined with Citrix’s Application Delivery Management, secure web gateway, web app firewall and Application Delivery Management – (enhanced by implementing NetScaler - formally Citrix ADC) for remote access inherently increases the overall architecture and end to end security.

SIMPLIFY OPERATIONS AND ACCELERATE DEPLOYMENTS

The combination of Citrix and Nutanix allows for centralized management without adding to operational complexity, no matter which cloud configuration is being used.

Nutanix enables cloud transitions and streamlines operations – which can offer a 164% ROI with a less than 6-month payback period.

Citrix – caters for centralized management, app store experience, self-service to applications and desktops – satiating end-user common needs without administration involvement.

Nutanix and Citrix - allow for ease of user transition to a remote workforce by standardizing the EUC environment which will greatly reduce the deployment time – in some cases from hours to minutes.

BENEFITS

Inherently hybrid and multi-cloud: Move Citrix deployments to the cloud on your terms, at your speed.

Simplified operations: Provide consistent access to apps and data; support more end-users without increasing complexity.

Faster deployments: Standardize the end- user environment, streamline deployments, and provide flexibility and scalability regardless of location.

Consistent end-user experience at scale: Start small and grow with predictable performance and costs.

Enhanced security: Prevent data theft and loss from ransomware and malware; adhere to regulatory, compliance, and data privacy requirements.

CONCLUSION

The primary focus for the Nutanix and Citrix collaboration is to increase EUC, reducing IT admin involvement and most importantly simplifying OpEx and CapEx predictability allowing for better budgeting and planning.

Partnering with OAS will offer customers an unprecedented level of innovation and expertise in the cloud technology landscape.
