Citrix Announces Citrix Desktop Server 1.0

Wednesday, 11 April 2007 by Michel Roth

In February I mentioned that Citrix had sneaker a product called Citrix Desktop Server it onto their website. Today, Citrix has officially launched Citrix Desktop Server 1.0. The core message Citrix has about Desktop Server is that it allows you to deliver desktops located on Virtual Server (ESX), Blade PCs or just plain old Terminal Server.

"Citrix today announced Citrix Desktop Server 1.0 (previously code-named Project Trinity). The debut of this new technology marks the entrance into the burgeoning virtual desktop market for Citrix. With Desktop Server, Citrix is creating a new approach for IT organizations to deliver and manage desktops.

Office workers who occasionally work from an alternate location such as a home office, will especially benefit from the flexibility Desktop Server offers because their desktop is delivered as an on-demand service and is instantly on, always available, and accessible from any location. IT can also perform proactive performance tuning on these virtual desktops to provide additional CPU allocation, memory, or storage, according to changing business and end-user needs.

Desktop Server Complements Leading Desktop Virtualization Solutions
Citrix Desktop Server is complementary to leading solutions in the desktop virtualization market from companies such as HP and VMware because it provides a comprehensive infrastructure that now enables customers to choose specifically how the desktop is delivered to the end user, regardless of whether they are leveraging any of the above methods."
