Citrix XenClient

Virtual Desktops to Go

Citrix XenClient enables virtual desktops to go. Desktop virtualization is rapidly being adopted as the best way to deliver Windows desktops to business users. Now, organizations can extend the benefits of desktop virtualization to mobile users, for new levels of portability and security. With XenClient, laptop users can take multiple virtual desktops with them and work from anywhere, anytime.

Bare metal client virtualization
XenClient is a high-performance, bare-metal hypervisor that enables users to run multiple instances of an operating system simultaneously, side by side, and in complete isolation. XenClient uses the same core technology as Citrix XenServer—a proven technology widely acknowledged as the fastest and most secure virtualization software available. To ensure the highest levels of performance for the user, XenClient builds on Intel vPro hardware virtualization technology.

XenClient delivers security, mobility, and choice
With XenClient, IT can deliver secure locked down desktops for mobile users, satisfying compliance and data security requirements without restricting the user’s demands for flexibility. User data is automatically and securely backed up whenever the device connects to the Internet, ensuring that valuable corporate information is secure and can be quickly restored in the event of a device being lost or stolen.

The ability to run multiple virtual desktop machines concurrently means that users can also have a dedicated personal environment, completely isolated from the business environment. In this personal virtual machine, users can install the applications, music, photos, and games they need for their private digital life without requiring them to carry a second laptop. It doesn’t stop there. Users can create any number of virtual machines, for fast access to test and development machines, multi-machine demonstration environments, or highly secure administrative environments while on the road.

The desire to work or play from anywhere at any time is increasing. XenClient delivers the security that IT needs with the flexibility that users demand.


XenClient Key Features

  • Bare-metal client hypervisor - Based on the cloud-proven enterprise class XenServer, XenClient delivers near native performance with the highest levels of security for the ultimate in flexibility for users and control for IT.
  • Citrix Receiver for XenClient - Citrix Receiver provides users with the flexibility to create and manage virtual machines locally or connect to centralized resources to download predefined VMs for speed and convenience.
  • Synchronizer for XenClient - Synchronizer provides centralized configuration and deployment of local VM desktops, defines policies to restrict movement of corporate data, enables user self-service recovery of backed up data, and disables virtual machines on lost or stolen devices.
  • Secure corporate data on laptops - XenClient enables security and lockdown from the hardware up. Each virtual machine runs in complete isolation, ensuring that malware or cyber-attacks cannot pass between the environments.
  • Automatic backup and recovery - Data is backed up over a secure connection whenever the user is connected to the Internet. Lost or stolen laptops can be disabled remotely, ensuring that valuable data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
  • High-definition user experience - Working in close collaboration with Intel, XenClient has been designed and optimized to take advantage of the built-in VT-d technology. XenClient provides direct access between the virtual machine and the full graphics capabilities of the underlying hardware, delivering the richest graphics experience.
