Citrix
Citrix focuses on delivering secure, access to applications and desktops. By combining Citrix's VDI and NetScaler's application delivery and security, with Red Hat's open hybrid cloud, customers can experience scalable and secure, enterprise solutions.
Red Hat and Citrix have a strong partnership focused on delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance enterprise solutions, particularly in the realm of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Their collaboration centers on combining Citrix's leading VDI technology and NetScaler's application delivery and security capabilities with Red Hat's open hybrid cloud platforms.
The core of this partnership aims to address the growing need for flexible and secure remote work environments. By leveraging Red Hat's open-source foundation, customers can deploy Citrix VDI solutions on a robust, adaptable infrastructure. This integration allows organizations to:
- Enhance Scalability: Red Hat's cloud platforms provide the underlying infrastructure that enables Citrix VDI deployments to scale efficiently, accommodating fluctuating user demands and expanding enterprise needs.
- Improve Security: Both companies prioritize security. Citrix's focus on securing "every app, user, and device" is complemented by Red Hat's commitment to secure open hybrid cloud environments. This combined approach ensures that virtual desktops and the data accessed through them are protected, which is crucial for enterprises. NetScaler, as part of the Citrix offering, further strengthens this security posture by providing advanced application delivery and security features.
- Boost Performance: The collaboration is designed to deliver "high-performance access to enterprise applications." This means optimizing the delivery of virtual desktops and applications, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience even for demanding workloads.
- Increase Flexibility: Red Hat's open hybrid cloud strategy offers flexibility in deployment options for VDI with Citrix, allowing organizations to choose between on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments. This adaptability is vital for businesses seeking to modernize their IT infrastructure while maintaining control and optimizing costs.
The partnership between Red Hat and Citrix brings together the strengths of each company: Citrix's expertise in virtual desktop delivery and application security, and Red Hat's leadership in open-source, enterprise-grade cloud platforms. This enables customers to build and manage secure, high-performing, and highly scalable virtual desktop infrastructures that support secure and reliable access to applications.
“IT organizations need to create modern environments to deliver applications in an agile and reliable way while maintaining a consistent operational and security posture. With NetScaler's certified application delivery and multi-cluster routing capabilities on Red Hat OpenShift, along with our automation capabilities with Red Hat Ansible, we are accelerating our customers' modernization journey."
