VIRTUALIZATION

CITRIX DaaS - DESK TOP AS A SERVICE 

The challenge lies in providing a secure and comprehensive workspace experience from any cloud or data center to any device, regardless of location, while managing the infrastructure and security effectively.

Solution Citrix DaaS.

Why Citrix DaaS?

Citrix DaaS is the industry leader in desktop delivery and deployment and VDI. The unique feature of Citrix DaaS are:

• Hybrid DaaS – maximize datacenter investment.
• Includes a comprehensive full security stack.
• Can be delivered from any cloud provider.
• Delivers High-Definition CAD, 3D and complete graphic services including optimized targeted Voice, video, and communications.

Five primary reasons for Citrix DaaS and DaaS management:

Simplify management

Citrix DaaS streamlines management through a single, centralized console that does not require specialized skills, server setups, and can effortlessly manage patches and upgrades.

Agility

DaaS is engineered to scale as needed, enabling organizations to fully leverage their data center investments in tandem with cloud workloads. Moreover, OAS can oversee and sustain the entire operation, thereby alleviating a significant burden for the IT team.

Security

DaaS provides a comprehensive security stack (CSIA), featuring session recordings, watermarking, and the capability for lockdown based on device posture, location, and various risk factors. Moreover, DaaS includes a thorough suite of user behavior analytics that can promptly notify IT of any anomalies, enabling real-time responses.

On boarding new users and temporary contractors

DaaS is structured to support the growth of company staff or to integrate new contractors by providing immediate assistance for the onboarding of new users, both easily and at scale.

Flexibility and support peaks in cloud demand

Hybrid working can lead to increased demand on infrastructure due to disruptions like Load Shedding or natural disasters, which push more users to work from home. The DaaS pay-as-you-go model enables organizations to expand into the cloud to accommodate peak demand and contract when demand stabilizes.

Citrix DaaS extends beyond traditional VDI, offering greater flexibility through its DaaS capabilities. It allows for the provisioning of desktops across hybrid or any public cloud infrastructure, enhancing agility and simplifying management, thus allowing your IT team to concentrate on priority tasks.

Universal Licensing

Deploy workloads on-premises, in the cloud, or within a hybrid environment using a single license.

Citrix, now a part of the Cloud Software Group, has pinpointed business-critical areas and is exploring ways to enhance its product offerings.

The primary focus is on delivering applications and desktops, with an emphasis on optimizing customer experience in key areas:

This focus has led Citrix to recognize the growing demand for Hybrid Flexibility and Client Choice, namely, the capability for customers to deploy applications and desktops across any hybrid platform configuration indefinitely.

Citrix has concluded that Hybrid Mode is the ultimate goal for most of their clients. However, to align with client capital expenditure and expectations, costs had to be reduced. To address client needs, Citrix introduced the Universal Subscription model.

The Universal Licensing Model offers dual benefits:

The flexibility to choose and manage Citrix infrastructure on-premises, deploy to a public cloud provider of choice, and/or utilize the Citrix services control plane deployment in any combination.

The option to host desktop workloads and applications on-premises and/or in the cloud.
