Citrix Showcases Cloud-first Innovations to Enable Unified Workspace-as-a-Service at Citrix Synergy 2016

Today at Citrix’s annual conference, Citrix Synergy, Citrix showcased new products and services that offer the promise to accelerate digital transformation efforts by delivering a unified Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) that empowers workers with secure, on-demand access to the apps and data they need to work effectively and efficiently from anywhere. These on-demand workspaces from Citrix also give IT the ability to securely deliver and manage it all from a single, unified control plane.

Citrix has unveiled the following updates:

  • ShareFile now allows information rights management for ShareFile. This feature lets data security “follow the file” as it leaves the ShareFile system – even if it is sent through unprotected devices, USB drives, or any other file sharing systems.   The rights management protection ensures that files require ShareFile authentication to access – even after the file has been downloaded
  • XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9 have expanded authentication, enhanced graphics support and advanced printing capabilities, while simultaneously driving down virtual app and desktop delivery costs. In addition, XenApp and XenDesktop 7.9 provide powerful administrative monitoring and tools to simplify ongoing maintenance and configuration
  • XenMobile 10.3.5builds on Citrix’s MAM-first option by enabling IT to distribute apps securely without requiring personal devices to be enrolled with a company’s mobile device management (MDM) solution. Another new feature includes Secure Forms, which allows line-of-business managers and IT to easily transform traditional paper forms into secure mobile mini-apps without writing a single line of code
  • The Citrix NetScaler familyhas consolidated three new network offerings into the family: NetScaler Management and Analytics System (NMAS), NetScaler CPX and NetScaler SD-WAN Enterprise Edition
