"Students can access applications wherever they are, whenever they want: a different classroom, the college library or from home."
“Specifically, we needed to reduce the cost of desktop delivery by 50 percent, streamline clinician mobility even more and resolve issues faster. We chose to address all these challenges by strengthening our relationship with Citrix and leveraging additional Citrix virtualization solutions.”
"The Citrix solution was extremely light and we were delighted with its performance."
"Of course, part of the consolidation process was to take advantage of synergies and no longer operate separate infrastructures for each institution. However, this imposes strict security standards on us. The network architecture is therefore designed so that it is impossible for anyone to gain direct access to the data centre’s shared resources from the states’ networks."
"We’re now more secure, more mobile and more effective. We’ve demonstrated that you don’t need to be hitched to a physical desktop to be productive."
“We’re one of the most influential government departments in the UAE, and our actions are closely watched by others. We’ve made significant investments in our IT infrastructure to ensure we have a platform to grow, and manage growth.”
"With Citrix Workspace, customers or our employees can access their applications from any device, from anywhere and have a similar experience."
"Our employees really trust the Citrix ShareFile system and know information will always be there when they need it. They feel secure. And if they feel secure, they are more likely to use it, which means we have better control over sensitive data."
"Automatic failover in Citrix ADC has made it possible for us to seamlessly transfer users from one server to the other server in case of non- availability, without affecting their access to the core business application. There is also no change for end users and the whole process of failover from one server to the other is completely transparent at their end."
"For all the different kinds of users and roles we have within our company, the user experience still should be good. That's what, at the end, Citrix is enabling us to do."
“We have a class of 25 [students] logged on and learning in the time it takes for teachers to call attendance. They’re spending less time managing devices and more time engaged with students.”
"We can now access the same environment from a customer site. It is also possible for staff working outside to smoothly share the same information and communications."
"We compared the cost of a traditional CAD infrastructure to the cost of the Citrix solution beforehand. Over a period of five years, we expect savings of up to 40 percent."
"With the Citrix solution, we were able to provide the training environment for our CAD designers on time. Although there were a few technical challenges to be overcome in the test – that included integrating 3D mice from 3Dconnexion – the environment was always stable and performed well, right from the start. Our design engineers were able to complete the CAD and PLM software training on time."
"In the future, our other users will also benefit from the experience gained in the design environment. Windows desktops, office applications, and web browsers are also placing ever-increasing demands on graphics performance. For this reason, we’re considering using GPU acceleration for standard workstations as well. We expect to get an even better user experience on the virtual desktops – and a simultaneous reduction in CPU load on our servers."
