Today 23rd October at Citrix Iforum in Florida Citrix announced its new Dynamic Desktop Initiative, this is part of Citrix's Virtualisation strategy.
Dynamic Desktops
A dynamic desktop is a Windows-based desktop that’s delivered over any network and optimized for office workers’ tasks – from simple to complex. The dynamic desktop includes a Windows-based access device, a network connection, a Windows desktop, desktop delivery infrastructure, and desktop experience management tools.
Five characteristics define the dynamic desktop. They are:
- Delivered - not deployed – making them SAFE: secure, available, fast and easy
- Optimized to deliver the right kind of desktop for every office worker
- Portable - works anywhere, extending where and when office workers can work
- Managed as a secure service that’s proactively monitored and measured in real-time
- Productive and empowering by eliminating downtime for upgrades, enabling one- password access, and always instantly on and ready for collaboration
