How XenClient helps your business

Citrix XenClient delivers the lowest-cost, simplest device management solution for turning PCs and laptops into centrally-managed, secure virtual appliances. XenClient provides simplified desktop management with security, reliability and control—even when users are offline or experiencing a slow or intermittent network connection.

Eliminate PC device management headaches

XenClient makes managing thousands of PCs as easy as managing one.

• Apply patches and updates centrally, then stream them transparently in the background. If a patch fails, you can easily roll it back.
• Eliminate device driver compatibility issues with a consistent set of virtual hardware.
• Secure and protect PCs against data corruption, loss, attacks and malware.
• Provide rapid support and troubleshooting remotely through an integrated help desk.

Simplify and secure corporate laptops

XenClient extends the benefits of desktop virtualization to laptops by turning them into manageable, reliable and secure virtual appliances.

• Enable mobile workstyles with complete control and security—even when users are offline.
• Protect critical company data wherever it is used.
• Simplify laptop management and keep laptops updated, even while users are off the corporate network.
• Expand your hardware options with support for the latest Intel® 3^rd Generation Core™ processors.

Achieve endpoint security, isolation and compliance

As user mobility increases, XenClient complements the inherent security of desktop virtualization with full disk encryption, USB filtering and remote kill pills to protect your organization’s desktop and laptops wherever they are.

• Leverage government-grade security for endpoint control and protection.
• Keep valuable data out of the wrong hands by disabling or wiping laptops remotely.
• Meet security requirements across multiple networks to support third-party collaboration.
• Set expiration and lockout policies to automate monitoring and security management.

Migrate to Windows 7 quickly and easily

With support for Windows XP ending in 2014, Windows 7 migration is imperative. XenClient offers a fast, clean and efficient approach to OS migration.

• Create a single, hardware-independent disk image to propagate to all machines on the network.
• Run multiple VMs on the same PC to ease user transition and give IT time to test legacy applications.
• Minimize support calls and desk-side visits with remote support.
• Centrally manage PCs to make migration easier, faster and less disruptive for users.

Reduce PC support costs in branch and distributed offices

With XenClient, you can support users in any location with optimal efficiency, react quickly to changes, reduce IT budget and improve user satisfaction.

• Operate securely and leverage centralized management even while off-network.
• Manage remote servers centrally with image caching, local backups and fast recovery for remote clients.
• Maximize the number of clients serviced concurrently while minimizing network impact.

Repurpose PCs as thin clients and reduce capex

XenClient reduces capital costs by repurposing existing hardware and lowers operational costs by centrally managing virtual appliances.

• Repurpose PCs as thin clients to implement desktop virtualization without new hardware expense.
• Future-proof your virtual desktops.
• Create flexible virtual endpoints by turning a PC into both a thin-client device and a virtual PC.

Manage training PCs more easily and cost effectively

XenClient streamlines provisioning by letting you install software and modify system settings instantly across any number of virtual desktops instead of one PC at a time.

• Reduce traditional infrastructure costs by over 95 percent by separating the OS, apps and data from the physical hardware.
• Increase overall IT productivity by provisioning, patching and updating desktop images centrally.
• Eliminate hours of reprovisioning work by delivering multiple VMs to each training PC.
• Keep student PCs running even when the network goes down and keep the training center schedule on-track.
