I was surprised dropbox got in before Citrix on this one, but here it is. Citrix Integrates with Microsoft office online: The UI looks slick and many of us rejoiced at this news.
No words really, it’s a great piece of ingenuity:įinally, FINALLY, we’ll have a unified client experience across mac, linux and windows in Receiver. Receiver x1 mouse is now available for purchase: A figure of 5,000 IOPS was met with some confusion and we can expect a blog post to clarify on this one. This was a very clear message from Citrix, XenServer is not dead, far from it, it’s going to play a pivotal role in Citrix’s Hyper Converged play and while melio was mentioned, not much detail of the underlying plumbing was shared. XenServer is back in focus, growing in features and carrying forward. Next, Storefront 3, better profile management and with improvements to the Lync optimisation pack. But for any customers currently on 6.5 with challenges to migration, rejoice.Ī feature pack 3 for XenApp is expected, with support Receiver.
Personally, I’m not sure about the validity of this move, it’s going to cause confusion. XenApp 6.5 support has been extended for at least another year, extending support into 2017.
I think there was a subtle undercurrent here of acknowledging the XenApp turbulence with the XenDesktop integration and backing out. To paraphrase, Mark Templeton highlighted the importance of XenApp, “We love XenApp, because our customers love XenApp”. Citrix is back in love with XenApp:Ī common theme throughout the keynote was Citrix frequently touching on XenApp and it’s necessity for customers. What a great keynote, we got absolutely DDOS’d by people on the live blog feed and couldn’t get the information out fast enough, so here’s a blow by blow of what we saw today.
