Customers Transition to the Cloud; Citrix Workspace Service Coming
to Google Cloud Platform
Businesses today must quickly adapt to the demands of a global
economy and workforce. Success is increasingly defined by the
ability to optimize and protect the information surrounding people,
organizations and devices. To help businesses tackle these
challenges and fully embrace the benefits of flexibility and scale
that cloud delivers, Citrix today announced extensions to its
long-term strategic relationship with Google. Customers will be
able to use Citrix Cloud to provision and manage secure digital
workspaces, including Citrix Workspace Service, on Google Cloud
Platform. Citrix and Google are working together to bring cloud
delivery of applications and desktops, and secure cloud-optimized
endpoints to their enterprise customers who are increasingly
looking to both public and hybrid clouds to solve their business
requirements for secure digital workspaces.
Along with these new cloud solutions, Citrix and Google also
announced new integrations, available today, between Citrix
ShareFile and Google G Suite that enable follow-me-data when using
Citrix workspace solutions. A new ShareFile plug-in that allows the
secure sharing of files via Gmail and a ShareFile connector to
Google Drive provides users with one place to find all their
documents. In addition, Citrix NetScaler CPX is available now on
Google Cloud and is targeted for availability in the Google Cloud
Launcher marketplace by the end of the quarter. Google Cloud’s
emphasis on containers and the Kubernetes orchestration system will
allow the developer community to use NetScaler CPX to easily build
and scale secure applications in the cloud.
“Today, we are deepening our successful partnership with Citrix.
By adding the ability to manage IT services in Google Cloud
Platform from Citrix Cloud service offerings, we and Citrix are
providing enterprise customers more options as they make moves to
the cloud,” said Nan Boden, Head of Global Technology Partners,
Google Cloud. “Our collaboration with Citrix will help businesses
of all types accelerate their transition to the cloud including the
desktop infrastructure and applications that they want to use.”
“Companies of all sizes across all industries around the world
have an amazing opportunity to embrace cloud transformation and
empower their people to work securely from anywhere using digital
workspaces,” said Steve Blacklock, VP of Global Strategic
Alliances, Citrix. “Our customers are asking Citrix and Google to
work more closely together to deliver innovative solutions from the
cloud to help them embrace the future of work.”
With Citrix Cloud services integrated with Google Cloud, Google
customers will have the ability to easily add virtual apps and
desktops that run on Google Cloud and use them alongside the G
Suite productivity suite.
Citrix and Google continue to work on delivering secure end
point solutions for accessing digital workspaces with the recently
announced Citrix Receiver for Chrome 2.4, which offers true
multi-monitor support on Chromebooks. Google recently announced
official Chrome Browser support for Citrix along with graphics
optimizations available only on XenApp. Google and Citrix product
teams continue their collaboration to enhance and optimize XenApp
delivery to Chrome OS based devices for enterprise customers with
ongoing Receiver for Chrome updates.
