Citrix Managed Desktops

Citrix Managed Desktops is a cloud-based desktops-as-a-service platform. It lets organisations deliver virtual applications and desktops to staff on any device without building or running their own virtual desktop infrastructure.

What Citrix Managed Desktops offers

• Virtual desktops and apps — delivered from the cloud to any user device or location.
• Single management console — IT teams launch and administer desktops from one web console.
• Provider-run infrastructure — the service provider handles deployment, maintenance, patches, upgrades, backup and storage.
• Access control — administrators decide which users can reach corporate resources and when.
• Security — files, data and passwords stay in the cloud rather than on individual devices.

Who it works with

IT teams supporting remote or hybrid employees, including organisations that allow staff to use their own devices.
