Managed cloud workspace
CITRIX CLOUD TAKE YOUR DESKTOP TO THE CLOUD
With our Managed Cloud Workspace service powered by Citrix Cloud, your team can securely stream centrally hosted applications to any device, anywhere in the world. All software installations, patches and configurations are applied on the DaaS hosts, keeping applications always up to date and safe. No more managing application packages for single user devices.
Citrix Cloud’s elastic infrastructure lets you automatically spin up anywhere from a few dozen to thousands of virtual desktops in minutes, giving employees the horsepower to work with even the most demanding applications when they need it, saving on workstations costs on devices that will be out of warranty in a few years.
By eliminating local hardware dependencies and unifying system management in a single control plane, you’ll save time, reduce operational overhead and strengthen your security posture, all while scaling seamlessly as your business grows.

HOW A MANAGED CLOUD WORKSPACE WORKS
Hop on, that's enough. We've got you covered on how best to virtualize your desktops and applications with Citrix Cloud.
First, we go through a list of details that will ensure success. In addition to the technical nitty-gritty, we list the contact points and third parties affected by the transition. Then we roll up our sleeves. Each implementation is carried out as a clear project, so that the end result is what it should be.
INTRODUCTION
Continuous maintenance of the environment
There are about a million different ways to keep your employees’ applications up to date. We have the processes tested and the automations fine-tuned to do just that. We also keep a close eye on your cloud capacity, so you don't pay for unnecessary capacity, even if Citrix Cloud offers cutting edge load balancing techniques to save on your cloud consumption.
Short, regular walkthroughs keep you up to date on the state of your environment.
What do you say, will you try it the hard way or go straight down the safe, tried and tested route?
Just a virtual environment or the entire coverage
No shady commitments. You can buy just the Managed Cloud Workspace service from us, or if you like Cloud2's straightforward style, you can get the rest of your cloud journey in the same box.
We also don't shy away from shuttling in multi-vendor environments.
THREE REASONS TO SWITCH TO VIRTUAL DESKTOPS, AND CHOOSE CITRIX
Centralizing virtual applications and desktops means that data never leaves your secured environment. Your data will stay in your on-premises/cloud, not on your users’ devices, greatly reducing the risk of data loss and data leakage if a device is stolen.
Granular access controls and integrations also increase security. Conditional access policies, device posture checks, as well as enforced multi-factor authentication, and session controls make sure that your users always and only access the applications securely, following compliance rules that you set.
With centralised application maintenance, it doesn't matter where you physically sit or what machine you're clicking away on, the applications will always be the same for all users, precisely configured.
ENHANCED SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
UNLIMITED SCALABILITY & FLEXIBILITY
Scale virtual desktops up or down in minutes to match your current business demand. No more machines running 24/7 increasing costs and wasting energy. Resource auto scaling lets you instantly provision, for example, high-performance GPUs for power users (design, CAD), and shut them down as the demand dissipates.
Pay-as-you-go cloud capacity means you only pay for what you use, ideal for seasonal workloads or bursty project teams. Citrix takes this even further with vertical and horizontal load balancing for multi-user environments, cutting costs by up to 60% in our experience on regular daily loads when well optimized.
Deploy virtual desktops close to your users and around the globe to minimize latency. But even if your users are far away, Citrix’s HDX protocol is very latency tolerant, and will provide users with a very good user experience, even in low throughput networks.
Keep your workforce productive through outages, with virtual workspaces your users can keep using their virtualized applications and desktops from any device and anywhere. If the outage impacts your virtualization environment, with good architecture, a disaster may be averted where the capacity is divided between multiple zones or data centers. However, with excellent architecture and an automated failover setup, if a region or a cloud provider has a major outage, you can automatically redirect your users to another region or cloud provider entirely in minutes rather than days or weeks.
Built-in backups and Citrix image version management ensure that you can roll back problematic updates almost instantly, all your users need to do is close and reopen their virtualized application or desktop. No need to implement device patches or wait for rollbacks to take place one device at a time.
Rapid onboarding is enabled by spinning up new virtual machines for new capacity requirements, new users or contractors takes minutes, versus days for physical hardware.
