        Deliver Desktops On-Demand while Dramatically Simplifying Lifecycle Managemen

Citrix XenDesktop delivers desktops on-demand to users anywhere while dramatically simplifying lifecycle management. It provides an end-to-end desktop delivery solution that accelerates the delivery of desktops to knowledge workers, enables stronger data protection and control, and reduces the cost of ownership by up to 40%.

Citrix XenDesktop dynamically assembles ‘new and fresh’ desktops for users with their personalized set of applications and settings every time users logon, delivering the best possible desktop performance. Unlike other desktop virtualization products, Citrix XenDesktop uniquely provides a superior and more responsive user experience, the quickest way to provision, manage and deliver desktops and lowest cost of ownership through simplified lifecycle management of desktops.

Why Should You Build a Desktop Delivery Practice?

For Citrix partners the opportunities are many when integrating XenDesktop into a portfolio of application delivery infrastructure solutions:

• Be a leader in the emerging desktop virtualization space - IDC forecasts Desktop Virtualization to be an over $1B market by 2011
• Leverage and expand customer relationships - Citrix XenDesktop is complementary to Citrix XenApp and implementing them together enables customers to separate application and desktop delivery – a best practice for application delivery infrastructure.
• Leverage existing technical and sales skills  - Tremendous opportunity for integration services in servers, client devices, application delivery networks and storage
