Citrix XenApp™ is an application virtualization solution that reduces the cost of Windows® application management by up to 50%.

Compared to archaic application deployment technology, virtualizing applications with Citrix XenApp enables organizations to improve application management by:

• Centralizing applications in the data center toreduce costs 
• Controlling and encrypting access to data andapplications to improve security 
• Delivering applications instantly to users anywhere

Why use application virtualization?

In use by over 100 million users worldwide, XenApp is the de facto standard in application virtualization and delivers on the promise of proven application compatibility. Virtualizing applications lets IT manage a single instance of each application in an app hub in the data center. Applications are then delivered via application streaming directly to Windows PC’s for offline application virtualization or run on high-powered servers in the data center for online application virtualization on any device or operating system. Whether online or offline application virtualization is used, XenApp ensures that users receive a better than installed experience through Citrix HDX technology. HDX adapts virtual application delivery and access based on each user’s device, network and location to ensure the most optimal experience.
