Citrix Systems and Google Cloud are expanding their strategic partnership to deliver the future of hybrid work for enterprise customers. The companies announced a new collaboration which will include Citrix launching a new Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering on Google Cloud.
The service will leverage Citrix’s management plane and market-leading HDX protocol to enable seamless delivery of virtualized applications and desktops on Google Cloud. The expanded partnership will empower distributed and hybrid workers to securely access the tools and information they need to engage and be productive, wherever they happen to be.
Citrix will build a foundation of their cloud services on Google Cloud, starting with a Citrix purpose-build management plane that will enable cloud hosted desktops to stream any application on any end point device. This announcement builds upon years of close collaboration between Citrix and Google Cloud. And customers like Telecom Italia are ready to capitalize on it.
Tim Minahan, EVP of Business Strategy, Citrix
Enterprises are no longer struggling with whether they should embrace remote work, but how quickly and efficiently they can do. Through this partnership with Google Cloud, we will help customers accelerate and embrace hybrid work models with new virtual desktop services on Google Cloud’s global and secure network.
Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate VP, Global Ecosystem at Google Cloud
For teams to thrive in a distributed environment they need easy, fast, and secure access to applications and workspaces from virtually anywhere. We’re excited to partner with Citrix to help organizations support remote work in the long-term, with low-latency and trusted access to desktops and applications across all types of devices, endpoints, and work environments.
