Partners join forces to enable
desktops-as-a-service in simple, secure way, empowering productive
work from anywhere
Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS) and Google Cloud are
expanding their strategic partnership to deliver the future of
hybrid work for enterprise customers. The companies today announced
a new collaboration which will include Citrix launching a new
Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering on Google Cloud. The service
will leverage Citrix’s management plane and market-leading HDX
protocol to enable seamless delivery of virtualized applications
and desktops on Google Cloud. The expanded partnership will empower
distributed and hybrid workers to securely access the tools and
information they need to engage and be productive, wherever they
happen to be.
“Enterprises are no longer struggling with whether they should
embrace remote work, but how quickly and efficiently they can do
it,” said Tim Minahan, Executive Vice President of Business
Strategy, Citrix. “Through this partnership with Google Cloud, we
will help customers accelerate and embrace hybrid work models with
new virtual desktop services on Google Cloud’s global and secure
network.”
Under the terms of an expanded agreement:
- Citrix will become a preferred and strategic virtual desktop
service partner of Google Cloud
- Google will become a preferred and strategic cloud partner for
Citrix
- Citrix will build a foundation of their cloud services on
Google Cloud, starting with a Citrix purpose-built management plane
that will enable cloud hosted desktops to stream any application on
any end point device.
“For teams to thrive in a distributed environment they need
easy, fast, and secure access to applications and workspaces from
virtually anywhere,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate Vice
President, Global Ecosystem at Google Cloud. “We’re excited to
partner with Citrix to help organizations support remote work in
the long-term, with low-latency and trusted access to desktops and
applications across all types of devices, endpoints, and work
environments.”
This announcement builds upon years of close collaboration
between Citrix and Google Cloud. And customers like Telecom Italia
are ready to capitalize on it.
“Telecom Italia (TIM) is always keen to identify the most
advanced solutions available on the market to further improve its
services. It's clear that Google Cloud and Citrix each know how to
leverage the others' technology,” said Mauro Maccagnani, Head of
Digital Enterprise Solutions, Telecom Italia. “Citrix technology is
effectively plug-and-play on Google Cloud, and you can set it up
very easily.”
