Citrix Systems, Inc. is an American multinational cloud computing and virtualization technology company that provides server, application and desktop virtualization, networking, software as a service, and cloud computing technologies. Citrix sells virtualization software that enables users to work from remote locations. Access to applications, desktops and resources is enabled through virtualized software. Citrix does require an application installed on the user’s device, just like with a VPN. The primary difference is that on Citrix, users gain access to their virtual workstation and resources. Meanwhile, the VPN operates directly with the device used and all of its software and applications. Citrix creates software that allows employees to work and collaborate remotely regardless of device or network. The company’s main products are in desktop software, Desktop as a Service (DaaS) systems, networking, cloud, and Software as a service (SaaS). If poor internet connections or a lack of access is slowing things down, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops can make all the difference. Citrix ensures employees stay connected with crystal clear voice, video, and collaboration tools—all on virtual desktops that look, feel and act just like traditional PCs. One of the main reasons Citrix is still so popular is its ability to overcome the common challenges that organizations face with other virtual desktop solutions. Users can access applications and data from anywhere and on any device. Everything is managed at the server level, which makes updates, maintenance, and backups easier and centralized. Data remains on the server, so there’s a smaller chance of data loss on users’ devices. With over 4,300 healthcare customers worldwide, Citrix is the leader in delivering secure, scalable, and resilient solutions to healthcare customers for over 3 decades. With the Citrix platform, financial services institutions including banks, brokerages, investment firms, and insurance companies can provide employees and customers with instant secure access to apps and data on any device. Citrix solutions for Government enable you to manage and optimize Citrix workloads from a cloud-based management portal, regardless of whether they are running on a government-grade cloud offering or your on-premises environments.
