Mexico. To enable partners and customers to deploy and manage applications and desktops using XenApp and XenDesktop securely, easier and easier, Citrix announced the acquisition of Unidesk, the company that invented the innovative Windows application packaging and management technology known as layering.
"Unidesk has been recognized by customers and industry analysts as the undisputed leader in application stratification, offering multiple unique advantages that streamline secure application delivery and VDI deployments and facilitate their management," said Jeroen van Rotterdam, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Citrix. "By incorporating Unidesk technology into XenApp and XenDesktop, Citrix strengthens its industry leadership by offering the most powerful and easy-to-deploy application tiering solution available to deliver and manage applications and desktops in the cloud, on-premises and in hybrid deployment environments."
Application stratification emerged as the best way to separate applications from the underlying operating system, so that they can be managed and delivered from any end-user computing solution to any device. Application compatibility is one of the most important criteria for getting the value of any layering solution, and Unidesk differentiates itself in the industry by having a much higher level of application compatibility compared to the competition.
Only Unidesk offers full-stack layering technology, which increases compatibility because it stratifies the entire Windows workspace as modular virtual disks, including the Windows operating system (OS layer), applications (application layer), and an editable persistent layer that captures all configurations, applications, and user data. With its innovative Unidesk 4.0 architecture, Citrix customers will be able to take advantage of the more scalable and feature-rich application tiering solution that simplifies the transition to the cloud, and only needs to manage a single application image in both on-premises and cloud-based deployments.
