Today at Citrix Synergy, the company unveiled Citrix Workspace Cloud, a new platform designed to simplify the on-demand delivery of a wide range of IT tools and services. With Citrix Workspace Cloud, Citrix is providing partners and businesses with a solution to address the increasing pressure that new devices, apps and work styles are putting on traditional infrastructure. People today want instant access to all the apps and data they use to get their jobs done, and they want to be able to get that access from any device and any location. This idea of a workspace is built on the premise that people have a place where Windows apps, web apps, mobile apps, desktops, documents and collaboration come together on whichever device or network is being used.

The Citrix Workspace Cloud creates a new control plane that merges the worlds of on-premises and cloud, allowing IT managers to create secure, mobile workspaces that include desktops, applications and data from whatever infrastructure source best meets their specific needs. Citrix Workspace Cloud is the ultimate expression of choice and personalization and is paving the way to a brighter future for IT, and for the people that consume it. As the world moves to this hybrid model, businesses have flexibility to securely deploy the apps and systems needed within the enterprise. By delivering all management via the cloud, Citrix is providing its customers and partners with the experience, flexibility and security needed to architect, design, deploy and publish easy-to-use mobile workspaces to anyone, anywhere - on any device.

This cloud-based management platform provides customers the flexibility to choose which clouds or datacenter resources fit their needs best, then select the applications, data, files and features that work best for each specific organization and each person. Partners add value by architecting and designing customized, personalized workspaces uniquely suited to meet their customers’ business requirements, combining new Citrix technologies with existing Citrix workspace environments to simplify management and gain greater value from their Citrix investment.

Citrix Workspace Cloud Test Drive

To enable partners and customers to understand the scope and value of what Citrix Workspace Cloud offers, Citrix is offering a test drive - launching at Citrix Synergy - that walks through the process of publishing a Citrix pre-designed workspace, and allow up to five people to subscribe and use those workspaces. The test drive will include examples of key services like application and desktop delivery, mobility management, data and content sharing, infrastructure management and more. Additional detail on Citrix Workspace Cloud and access to the test drive is available as of Tuesday, May 12 at noon ET on citrix.com/workspacecloud.
