The HPE - Citrix Strategic Alliances continues to develop innovative solutions that repond to the quickly-evolving needs of our mutual customers and their businesses. The following is a list of breakthroughs that were introduced by the alliance in FY2019, mainly at our two principlal events: Citrix Synergy 2019 and HPE Discover 2019.
Citrix and HPE Pointnext Innovations
Customers increasingly want work environments that are simple, economical, and secure,. Citrix and HPE delivered with the HPE Greenlake Lighthouse program - an innovative hybrid-cloud consumption-based approach to delivering Citrix Workspace that addresses everyday pain points our customers like you are looking to solve.
So you may be asking, what made the solution so attractive? The answer? Not only are we offering turnkey, one-of-a-kind, consumption-based Citrix Workspace solution, we’re also delivering:
- Cost Optimization: Wherever you are in your cloud journey, the solution delivers the economics of public cloud in an on-premises instance. Because it’s delivered in a consumption model, you only pay for what you use – per user, per month – and you can burst capacity up and down, all from your on-premises data center.
- Simplicity: HPE Pointnext removes the headaches that often surround lifecycle management as it manages the entire stack of hardware, software, and services, freeing you from the cost and complexity of mundane tasks like deployment, capacity planning, and patching updates. This enables your staff to focus more on customer experience and innovation.
- Security: Rest assured, security is a top priority for HPE and Citrix. You can keep applications that require the highest levels of compliance and control on-premises and still get the benefit of paying only for what you use. You retain full control of the crucial Citrix desktop and application environment while HPE ensures that the platform is available, performant, and secure in your data center.
