Citrix Acquires Reflectent Software

Tuesday, 09 May 2006 by Michel Roth

Citrix today announced it has acquired privately held Reflectent Software, Inc., provider of the industry�s most widely deployed solutions to monitor the performance of client-server, web and desktop applications from an end-user perspective. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

With this latest acquisition, following several successful acquisitions over the past two years, Citrix continues to execute on its strategy to move into adjacent, high-growth segments of the Access Infrastructure market.

As a leader in application performance monitoring, Reflectent� is part of a larger market for Access Management solutions, complementing traditional Systems Management products. Systems Management products focus broadly on the management of systems, devices (components) and processes across the enterprise. Access Management products focus specifically on the �first mile of computing��the �mile� between the user�s computer screen and the door of the data center�with solutions that observe, measure and control the access experience from an end-user�s perspective.

Brian Madden thinks that Reflectent will work across the board in the areas that Citrix is focused on, so this Management Systems Group may grow legs of its own within Citrix.
