ETS has been a Citrix Gold partner for nearly 13 years. Over the last 3 years, we’ve watched as Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft have battled each other over the “VDI Turf”. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure has been touted as one of the biggest paradigm shifts in the history of personal computing.
As a Value Added Reseller and services provider, we are faced with many IT-related challenges across a broad spectrum of business clients. Quite often, a solution for one problem can create another set of problems.
Over 70 new desktop virtualization features and enhancements have been added to XenDesktop 4, helping to increase the Citrix lead in virtual desktop technology.
The new XenDesktop 3.0 offers major technology advantages when compared to other virtual desktop infrastructure products.
The successful integration of XenSource coupled with the position of XenApp (Presentation Server), helps XenDesktop 3.0 leverage the ICA protocol to stream virtual desktops to clients. Its virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI, competitors use the RDP protocol. While RDP 6.0 has closed the gap, ICA still lends itself to a superior virtual desktop experience.
