Citrix and HPE to Deepen Strategic Collaboration on Private Cloud and Virtualization Solutions

Companies to join forces on engineering and go-to-market strategies with a focus on Citrix Desktop-as-a-Service with GreenLake by HPE for on-premises and sovereign deployments

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Citrix, a Cloud Software Group company, today announced it plans to expand its strategic collaboration with HPE to private cloud and virtualization solutions. The companies intend to deepen their work across joint solution engineering, product integration, validation and go-to-market strategies, with an initial focus on delivering Citrix Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) with GreenLake by HPE for customers seeking on-premises and sovereign deployments.

The planned offering is designed to combine on-premises control, sovereign cloud capabilities and enterprise-grade virtualization performance with the agility of a cloud operating model for organizations facing heightened data sovereignty and regulatory requirements.

“Customers are looking for modern desktop delivery that gives them flexibility without requiring them to compromise on control or performance,” said Shawn Bass, senior vice president and general manager of Citrix’s DaaS portfolio. “Through our collaboration with HPE, we are advancing a shared vision to bring Citrix Desktop-as-a-Service together with GreenLake to support customers seeking modern desktop delivery with greater flexibility and choice.”

As part of the collaboration, GreenLake infrastructure will be positioned as a premier choice for provisioning Citrix workloads for Citrix Platform Flex customers requiring on-premises and sovereign workloads. The companies plan to explore industry-specific solution offerings and drive joint go-to-market efforts and enablement through both organizations’ sales channels to support customer adoption of the joint solution.

The companies also plan for Citrix DaaS and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops to be integrated with HPE Morpheus Software—VM Essentials as a key virtualization platform, including API-provided advanced functionality, and for HPE CloudOps Software to provide unified orchestration, automation, and observability across GreenLake hybrid deployments.

“Enterprises are modernizing their digital workplace strategies, and they need a platform that delivers predictable economics without giving up control or performance,” said Patrick Osborne, senior vice president of hybrid cloud technology acceleration at HPE. “By deploying Citrix DaaS on GreenLake, customers will benefit from a modern virtualization foundation with on-premises control and cloud-like flexibility.”

In addition to this co-innovation, Citrix and HPE will work with additional GreenLake ecosystem partners to drive greater adoption and customer value.
