Virtualisation going mainstream

10.02.2011

Industry verticals such as FSI and manufacturing, which typically have a large team of mobile executives and sales representatives, are some of the early adopters of desktop virtualisation. Citrix customer, a Fortune 500 food and beverage manufacturer, deployed Citrix XenDesktop to reduce costs, simplify management, enable iPads, and make it easier to open new branch offices.

Healthcare and education are also examples of industry verticals that have successfully integrated the iPad using desktop virtualisation to reach new levels of mobility, flexibility and productivity, while giving users a more modern, convenient computing experience.

Kaweah Delta Health Care District in California, the US, successfully integrated mobile devices such as laptops, iPads and iPods, into their daily health care services using virtual computing from Citrix. Desktop virtualisation delivers the full range of clinical applications and data, from patient X-rays and EKG telemetry to a labour and delivery monitoring system, to any Internet-connected device doctors choose to use, in any location.

Citrix has just recently announced our 2010 fourth quarter and fiscal year financial results and we are very proud of what we've achieved.
