Citrix® XenDesktop™ is a fully integrated desktop virtualization system that gives customers the flexibility to deliver the desktop as a service - dramatically simplifying desktop management for a broad range of users. XenDesktop is available in a range of packages designed for several market segments. The Express Edition of XenDesktop is offered as a free download from our website to allow IT professionals to conduct no-cost trials. The XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, or VDI, Edition is designed for virtual desktop projects that only require the hosted virtual machine method of desktop delivery. The Enterprise and Platinum Editions of XenDesktop include all of our major virtual desktop delivery models in one integrated package, and also include the capabilities of Citrix XenApp for delivering on-demand applications into virtual or physical desktops. All versions of XenDesktop include Citrix HDX technologies to give users a high-definition experience - even when using multimedia, real-time collaboration, USB devices, and 3D graphics content - while consuming less bandwidth than competing solutions. HDX leverages the Citrix ICA® protocol and adds Adaptive Orchestration which helps optimize performance and bandwidth to fit each unique user scenario. Each edition comes with user profile management and provisioning services to stream a single desktop image, on-demand, to multiple servers in the datacenter. All editions feature licensing for both Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization infrastructure. The most advanced editions include our FlexCast™ delivery technologies which allow virtual desktops to be hosted in the datacenter or run locally at the endpoint, wherever costs, security or mobility is optimal. We believe that our FlexCast technology dramatically improves our customer's return on their investment and makes desktop virtualization a practical reality for broad, enterprise-wide deployments.
