With Citrix HDX technology, users get an experience that rivals a local PC, even when using Multimedia, real-time collaboration, USB peripherals, and 3D graphics. XenDesktop uses 90% less bandwidth compared to alternative VDI or virtual desktop solutions. New webcam and VoIP support, improved audio, 3D graphics support and branch office WAN optimization ensure that users can get a high-definition user experience regardless of their location.

XenDesktop can meet all these requirements in a single solution with our unique Citrix FlexCast delivery technology. With FlexCast delivery technology, IT can deliver any type of virtual desktop (VDI), to any user, on any device. Each desktop is tailored to meet the performance, security and flexibility requirements to provide the best desktop for every user, every time.
