Simplify the Management of Your Virtual Desktops with Citrix and Nutanix
Simplify the Management of Your Virtual Desktops with Citrix and Nutanix
The collaboration between Citrix and Nutanix has resulted in innovative new solutions for your virtual desktops, aimed at simplifying the hybrid work experience—something we’ll explore further in today’s blog post.Multi-cluster environments running via Prism Central on the Nutanix Cloud Platform—based on Nutanix’s AHV hypervisor, a leader in hybrid multicloud computing—will soon be generally available and fully supported through Citrix. The combination of Citrix and Nutanix offers enhanced resilience and scalability for expanding your VDI and secure application delivery environments.
Benefits of the Integration:
• Centralized Management: Simplified handling of Nutanix AHV multi-clusters and scaled images, increasing both scalability and efficiency.
• Hybrid and Multicloud Integration: Extend Citrix deployments into Nutanix hybrid multicloud environments and seamlessly integrate across cloud platforms including Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on Azure and AWS.
• Built-in Integration and Compatibility: Easy migration and compatibility simplify operations and ensure smooth transitions within existing infrastructure.
• Scaled Image Management: Enables master image sharing across clusters via AHV templates, improving resource utilization.
• Hypervisor Flexibility: Ability to deliver desktops from any infrastructure on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.
Why It Matters
The integration of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS (Desktops as a Service) with Nutanix Prism Central on AHV streamlines operations across virtual desktop environments. It provides the tools needed to scale VDI and secure application delivery. With a centralized management model, IT teams can scale on demand and work more efficiently. Using Nutanix AHV integrated into the Citrix platform, teams can manage multi-cluster environments and scaled images, supporting improved performance and visibility over workloads. Cross-cluster master image sharing enabled by AHV templates, also provides insight into resource usage and helps optimize image lifecycle management.
As enterprise infrastructure becomes increasingly hybrid and multicloud, this integration allows Citrix deployments to be easily extended across various environments, including Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and AWS. The result is a highly flexible solution that gives your organization the freedom to deploy virtual desktops and applications wherever it makes the most sense, without compromising user experience or IT control.
High-Performance Delivery and Security
Customers also benefit from high-performance application delivery and security with NetScaler, supported on AHV and integrated into the Nutanix ecosystem. This ensures consistent policy enforcement, automated workflows, and real-time threat protection. The ability to deploy VDI and NetScaler VPX both in local data centers and across public cloud services, while managing everything through a unified platform, provides both operational consistency and robust security. This makes the integration a true breakthrough.
Solutions That Make a Difference
Together, Citrix and Nutanix deliver modern digital workspaces that empower your employees to work securely, from anywhere, and at scale. By combining Citrix’s app and desktop virtualization solutions with the power of Nutanix, you gain greater resilience and scalability to meet today’s demands for VDI and secure application delivery.
