"The future has come, just not yet popular"-In my eyes Citrix Summit 2017-part 2

A friend of Citrix's history knows that Citrix and another it circle of big predators have a constant and messy relationship, and this company is Microsoft. When the new Citrix CEO, Mr. Kirill Tatarinov, came into office in January 2016, we found that the longest part of his career was in Microsoft, and that it was executive Vice President, Corporate Vice President Microsoft Business Solutions Division has a time of up to 13 years. It could be said that it was a Microsoft veteran.

After Mr. Kirill became Citrix CEO, the most important strategy was to further deepen the partnership with Microsoft, at the May 2016 Citrix Synergy Conference, The duo announces that Citrix will build the foundation of Citrix's future-wide cloud strategy based on the Azure platform. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also sent a message through the video for this collaboration.

At this conference, the two sides continued to continue the relationship of good cooperation, Microsoft is responsible for cloud and enterprise-level transaction Scott Guthrie (called Microsoft Cardinal, responsible for Microsoft now put the largest azure and a large number of core product lines, Imagine his influence) to visit the scene, for the two sides in the past six months of cooperation carried out a small summary.

In the past six months, Citrix has migrated its own Citrix Cloud, XenMobile Cloud, and on-premises cloud-based services from a variety of cloud platforms in the past to the Azure platform for building, so Citrix is now also a big customer for Azure. While Microsoft advertises all of its azure users in the second half of 2016, future RemoteApp services on the Azure platform will be discontinued in the first half of 2017 and all related services will be delivered to Citrix XENAPP Express services.

At this conference, Citrix continued its collaboration with Microsoft and launched the following three azure-based services.

XenApp Essentials for Azure, which is referred to as XenApp Express (renamed) Earlier, will replace the RemoteApp service on Azure.

2. XenDesktop Essential for Azure, this is the final presentation of the plan for Azure on Windows 10 that was announced last May Synergy on both sides. In the current public cloud market, Microsoft does not legally authorize any cloud platform to allow the delivery of Windows Client OS systems (such as; Windows 7,8,10) so we see on the cloud platform, typically only Windows-based Server's instance service. This is not a technical limitation, but a legal limitation that Microsoft has always been.

Microsoft now legally supports Windows 10 's instance on its azure for the first time, and allows Citrix to remotely deliver it as a VDI. This is the public cloud market Daas truly the first legitimate Windows Client OS VDI service, can be said to be groundbreaking, will certainly bring great benefits to the entire desktop cloud market.

3. XenMobile Essential for EMS, knowing that both Citrix and Microsoft know that both have their own EMM solutions, Citrix has a big advantage on Mam, Microsoft takes advantage of its intune and O365 (office packages) to take its place in this market. The Citrix XenMobile essential, in combination with its own strengths, can accomplish and intne/o365, and for users a solution that covers the benefits of the two best EMM solutions. It is definitely a winning partnership.

It can be said that in the places we see and do not see, Citrix and Microsoft, both products, solutions to establish a very rich relationship between the user to choose a simultaneous set of two of the big, and more competitive solutions.

Speaking of Citrix Cloud, you can not mention Citrix another SaaS service Sharefile, from my personal, I am still more satisfied with Sharefile, as an enterprise-class network disk solution, his function, transmission rate, management (including users, administrators), The safety precautions are all good. (At present, there is not much promotion in mainland China or limited by its cloud service temporarily not landing at home)

From this year's Gartner Enterprise file synchronization Market Magic Quadrant can be seen, the technology, the market is in a leading position. (In the last few years sharefile basically in the upper right quadrant)

From this conference, the future of the Sharefile product line will be mainly in these aspects of exerting force:

1, security, from this conference, the future of Citrix products will be in the "security" to invest more attention. Including equipment safety management, Storage zone control, dlp/irm data protection mechanism. (This is achieved through the three-party integration, but by the Sharefile directly to provide unified services, for users only need to docking sharefile to get these services)

2. Workflow, in fact, the document in the enterprise exchange within the time of very strong data flow characteristics. Sharefile now begins the flow of workflows that provide a variety of tripartite services, including its own services. This kind of examination and approval of the problem, completely no longer through the mail, and directly within the sharefile, and through Citrix Rightsignature directly complete electronic signature, while the workflow of the history of the flow of tracking.

Further refinement with Citrix Workspace/xen Integration Services for family products, especially on virtualized platforms, are further optimized to enhance the user experience in virtualized scenarios.

Further interfacing with Microsoft's products. Including Sharpoint,exchange, which has been supported in the past, will now support O365 and Onedriver, providing a better access experience and Sharefile's own security control capabilities.

It can be seen that Citrix has put a lot of effort into the Cloud,saas class service, after all, the cloud is a direction and model that all IT companies now recognize. In particular, Citrix Cloud, we can clearly feel that Citrix in this new business has invested a lot of resources, in North America this year, Citrix will gradually expand from product, program promotion, Tripartite solution integration (for example, HCI ready program is based on Citrix Cloud, to provide users with faster access to and recognition of the value of Citrix Cloud.

I have personally used Citrix Cloud in the first place, and the XenDesktop Service, smart Tools, and so on have done a lot of things, especially smart tools has integrated a large number of "scripting" models, whether it's POC, small and medium-sized environment deployments, or large production environments , from the traditional virtualization platform to a variety of public cloud platform, have done a variety of models, most of the time users can be directly called to deploy, the senior engineer can write directly to complete the more complex settings, followed by the opportunity to introduce a separate Citrix cloud.

Well, let's introduce Citrix Cloud and sharefile here today, and we'll focus on the content of Citrix networking in the next issue. Please look forward to it.
