Citrix CloudGateway Delivers End User Computing for the Cloud Era
October 26 2011 - 4:31AM
Business Wire
Today at Citrix Synergy™, the conference where cloud computing,
networking and virtualization meet, Citrix announced the next stage
of its strategy for Citrix CloudGateway™, the industry’s first
unified service broker that aggregates, controls and delivers
Windows, web, SaaS and mobile apps to any user on any device. The
CloudGateway product line empowers end users with self-service
access to all of their business apps, and gives IT unmatched
control over apps and data from public cloud environments,
accelerating enterprise adoption of cloud and mobility.
As consumer demand continues to drive IT decision making, IT is
increasingly asked to provide new types of mobile devices and new
types of cloud apps, including web, SaaS and mobile (see demo
here). The systems and processes created to support traditional IT
needs, however, were never designed for the choice and flexibility
that the cloud engenders, leaving IT to address each new app or new
device with silo technologies on an ad-hoc basis. As a result, IT
is rapidly losing control over cloud apps and mobile devices that
their users are adopting, thereby putting enterprise data IP at
risk. And at the same time, end users are frustrated with limited
and disparate access from various devices, resulting in lost
productivity. To regain control and get ahead of these disruptive
trends, IT is seeking solutions that unify aggregation, control and
delivery of all types of apps to any device anywhere.
Citrix CloudGateway is the first unified service broker that
enables businesses to transform end-user computing for the Cloud
Era. CloudGateway delivers end users intuitive self-service access
to all apps and data from any device anywhere via the Citrix
Receiver™ universal software client. Using Receiver, end users get
a follow-me apps and follow-me-data experience using one login from
any device, including PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets (see demo
here). In addition, CloudGateway provides IT with unified and
un-paralleled controls across all apps. Customers can control and
protect their enterprise apps and data with scenario-based
controls, such as identity provisioning for authorized users,
automatic account de-provisioning for terminated employees, and
remote wipe for data and apps stored on lost devices. Finally,
CloudGateway provides a unified dashboard for SLA monitoring and
license reporting, enabling customers to reduce costs by optimizing
their application SLAs and license utilization. By offering rich
self-service experience to end users and unmatched IT control,
CloudGateway will enable customers to transform their end user
computing for the Cloud Era.
Packaging and Availability
CloudGateway will be available for tech preview this month and
will be generally available in the next three months. It will be
available in the following two editions:
- CloudGateway Enterprise – A
powerful solution that enables enterprises to aggregate, control
and deliver all Windows, web and SaaS apps to any device,
anywhere.
- CloudGateway Express – Focuses
on Windows apps, enabling Citrix XenDesktop® and XenApp® customers
to deliver virtual apps and desktops via a unified storefront with
self-service to any device. Designed with built-in headroom for the
Cloud Era, CloudGateway Express will be free of charge to the more
than 200,000 customers currently using XenDesktop or XenApp. This
strategy seeds the market rapidly, and gives customers an easy
upgrade path as they expand their usage of web, SaaS and cloud apps
and data.

“The growth of mobile devices and cloud apps is leading IT to
build siloed solutions that are expensive and complex. We’ve
created Citrix CloudGateway as the industry’s first unified service
broker that gives end users mobility and flexibility they crave and
enables IT to regain control over all of their enterprise and
cloud-based apps and data.”
