LATEST INTELLIGENCE CLOUD WORKSPACE SERVICES: ADOPTION MADE SIMPLE How Citrix meets customers anywhere along the journey to the cloud The adoption of cloud services poses dilemmas for companies at every stage of their journey. At the outset, all-or-nothing solutions can force IT to commit prematurely to a single vendor, roadmap or timeframe. As more cloud services enter the environment, complexity rises for users and IT alike, as users confront a fragmented experience, and IT struggles to secure, monitor and manage it all. Whatever your cloud strategy or desired level of adoption, a few requirements are already clear: the flexibility to adopt the cloud services you want, when you want; the freedom to use any combination of on-premises and cloud resources from any vendor; and simple ways to activate, secure, manage and optimize diverse cloud services so that your entire cloud journey delivers the best results for your users and your business. Citrix helps companies address the issues around cloud services adoption at every stage of their journey. • A unique hybrid approach allows complete flexibility for customers to blend both onpremises and cloud services in alignment with their requirements and priorities to deliver a unified workspace. • Integrated tools for operations, migration, onboarding and monitoring enable customers to increase and extend the reach and value of their cloud strategy over time. • Integrated analytics give administrators deep insight into usage, security, performance and user experience. While each company’s journey to the cloud will follow a unique path, Citrix helps ensure complete flexibility, freedom and simplicity at each step along the way. n Download White Papers free from http://www.intelligentcio.com/africa/white-papers/ www.intelligentcio.com INTELLIGENTCIO 15
