Can you believe that it's already been a year since the last Citrix Synergy event? And in less than a week, many of us will be at the Anaheim Convention Center in Los Angeles, California once again to participate in this great event and to help Citrix celebrate its 25th anniversary!
This year's theme is around innovation, insights and interactions to take you mobile. Citrix Synergy isn't just about desktop and application delivery anymore. Instead, Citrix is calling this year's event, the premier enterprise mobility conference for organizations seeking solutions that empower people with new ways to work – anywhere, anytime, on any device.
IT professionals from around the world will be gathering at this conference to learn about enterprise mobility, cloud computing and networking... and let's not forget about XenDesktop and XenApp.
Citrix Synergy 2014 takes place May 6-8, and VMblog will once again be there to bring you the latest news and analysis live from the show floor. Until then, be sure to keep watch and follow along on the VMblog Events page for more updates.
Also... If you are attending the show, please make sure to check out Tegile Systems at Booth #607. Tegile has agreed to sponsor VMblog's Live Citrix Synergy 2014 coverage, and we're very grateful for that and we'd like to thank them for their support.
If you aren't already familiar with them, you definitely need to check them out. Tegile Systems is pioneering a new generation of enterprise storage arrays that balance performance, capacity, features and price for virtualization, file services and database applications. And with the company's Zebi line of hybrid storage arrays, they are redefining the traditional approach to storage by providing a family of arrays that is significantly faster than all hard disk-based arrays and significantly less expensive than all solid-state disk-based arrays.
And just ahead of the show, Tegile announced that it was verified for the Citrix Ready VDI Capacity Program, designed specifically to address the storage needs of customers who already have or are thinking about implementing VDI using XenDesktop.
Want to learn more ahead of the show? Read about the new XenDesktop Reference Architecture that Tegile will be talking about during Synergy. The company concluded a joint validation certification for deploying 750 XenDesktop users. And the newly launched paper documents the solution architecture, hardware and software components, configurations used in the test, best practices, test methodology and test results. It is intended to assist solution architects, sales engineers, field engineers and consultants in the planning, design, and deployment of Citrix XenDesktop solutions using Tegile Zebi storage arrays.
