Citrix Deployment Services (CDS)

The expansion of customer enterprise environments has led to an increased pressure to deploy business-critical applications and information quickly and efficiently while ensuring data integrity and security.

The Business Challenge

This is further exacerbated by a workforce that is increasingly mobile and dispersed and the increasing pressures to reduce costs and centralise and consolidate IT services.
Traditional application deployment methods are often unable to deliver the real-time performance required and in an environment where the user base is widely dispersed, management is complex and costly.

The Solution

CDS involves centrally hosting and deploying applications utilising a server based computing model and is often seen as the preferred solution to address these challenges. Citrix have long been the leaders in this market, with a mature technology suite that addresses the end to end delivery of applications to end users, no matter where they are located.

Citrix solutions enhance customers IT services by:

Providing fast centralised application deployment across the enterprise
Improving the speed of application execution in a Wide Area Network
Extending the reach of business applications and data
Maximising the potential of the Wide Area Network and the ability to leverage the internet as a viable transport mechanism
Reducing the cost of IT support by centralising operations and control
Increase the manageability and security of applications
