Company extends capability to Citrix Desktops
service and Citrix Desktops Essentials, providing simple, secure
and reliable alternative to VPN in enabling work from home
Providing employees with access to their desktops from remote
locations used to be a nice thing to do. Today, it’s a requirement
to keep employees productive and businesses operating during the
COVID-19 crisis. Faced with shelter in place and work from home
mandates, many organizations rushed to arm employees with Virtual
Private Network solutions (VPN) that allow them to connect to
corporate systems. But such offerings have their limitations. A
recent Citrix-OnePoll survey of more than 2,000 US employees who
work remote found that VPN-based remote work approaches resulted in
“slow performance” and “lack of access to all the apps needed to
get work done.” And further research has uncovered security and
privacy concerns.
To provide a more secure and reliable alternative, Citrix
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS), today announced that it is extending
its globally leveraged Remote PC Access solution to the cloud,
making it available as part of Citrix Desktop Service and Citrix
Desktop Essentials. The move enables organizations of all sizes to
deliver a familiar virtual desktop and high-performance experience
that empowers employees to safely access all the apps, information
and resources they need to perform at their best while working
remotely.
“Businesses that rush solutions to accommodate remote work face
security risks, questionable impact to productivity, and unknown
network issues,” said Mark Bowker, senior analyst for Enterprise
Strategy Group. “As companies work through addressing any
shortcomings, now is an ideal time to consider VDI and other
digital workspace technologies that can deliver a secure and
productive experience for employees who are working from home.”
A Simple, Secure and Reliable Solution
With Citrix Remote PC Access, IT organizations can quickly and
easily deliver a full virtual desktop experience to employees by
installing a small client (VDA) that allows users to securely
remote into their Windows or Linux PCs from anywhere using
virtually any device. Remote PC Access does not require a VPN and
can enable security measures like multi-factor authentication to
keep confidential content secure.
A Familiar Face in Unfamiliar Times
“As employees settle in to the new normal of working from home,
it is more important than ever to provide access to a consistent
and familiar set of tools that keep them engaged and productive
while keeping corporate information safe,” said Paul Carley, Senior
Product Marketing Manager, Desktop and Applications Group,
Citrix.
Expanded Options
Already included in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
Advanced/Premium and Citrix Workspace Premium Plus, Remote PC
Access is now offered as part of Citrix Virtual Desktops Essentials
and Citrix Virtual Desktops Service.
With Citrix Virtual Desktops Service, companies can deliver
Remote PC Access to physical desktops as well as virtual desktop
infrastructure located on-premises or in any public cloud. And with
Citrix Virtual Desktops Essentials Service, a month-to-month
service option available on Azure Marketplace, they can also
deliver to Azure-hosted virtual desktops using.
“The shift to remote work has accelerated the move to the
cloud,” Carley said. “And we’re meeting our customers there with
solutions that enable them to create the secure digital workspaces
that meet their needs now and in the future.”
