Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) today announced that Citrix®
XenDesktop® 4 was named winner of the Breakthrough Product in the
Best of Tech·Ed 2010 awards program by Penton Media’s Windows IT
Pro® and SQL Server Magazine®. The Breakthrough Product award is
the top honor given by the editors for the most innovative product
in all Best of Tech·Ed 2010 award categories. According to the
editors, Citrix XenDesktop 4 was chosen because, “Citrix is
providing easy and powerful virtual desktops, and there’s a good
chance that will be the future of IT.”
Best of Tech·Ed 2010 awards recognize companies that offer
innovative products for the industry. The judges reviewed 298
products and services submitted for the contest and chose 46
finalists to be interviewed at the Microsoft Tech·Ed North America
2010 IT pro conference in New Orleans, Louisiana on June 9th.
Winners were then chosen based on their innovation, strategic
importance to the market, competitive advantage and exceptional
value to customers, and announced later that evening in an
invitation-only reception.
“Choosing the best product in each of 14 categories — from our
list of 46 products — was both daunting and exhilarating for our
judging panel,” said Jason Bovberg, Senior Editor of Windows IT
Pro®. “All 46 finalists represent highly distinguished products and
services in their categories. Through our exhaustive interview
process, it was clear that some of our winners stood a step above
the pack, whereas other picks were more difficult to determine. The
winners in those categories typically offered an edge in product
functionality, boasted enhanced feature sets in new versions, or
introduced innovative technology — giving them a slight advantage
over the competition.”
XenDesktop 4 is a comprehensive desktop virtualization solution
that delivers a complete Windows desktop experience as an on-demand
service to any user, anywhere, making virtual desktops a mainstream
reality for hundreds of millions of corporate employees for the
first time ever. Unlike first-generation VDI-only solutions that
were applicable only to a narrow set of users, XenDesktop 4 with
its new FlexCast™ delivery technology is the first product in the
industry to support every major desktop virtualization model in a
single, integrated solution – a breakthrough that improves ROI,
simplifies management and extends the benefits of virtualization to
every employee in the enterprise.
“XenDesktop’s recognition as winner of the Breakthrough Product
in the Best of Tech·Ed award program is very exciting for us.
XenDesktop is the only desktop virtualization solution to win this
prestigious award,” said Raj Dhingra, group vice president and
general manager, XenDesktop product group at Citrix Systems. “We
have been very focused on adding innovative capabilities to
XenDesktop to drive mainstream adoption of virtual desktops. Awards
like Best of Tech-Ed validate our vision for delivering a
market-leading, comprehensive desktop virtualization solution that
meets the broad range of customer needs in this thriving sector of
the industry.”
