Citrix are hosting their annual end user conference in Las Vegas this week - Synergy. We are providing some of the highlights from the event, so if you're into Citrix and not at Synergy this could be useful to you:

Mark Templeton's message is simplification this year, and how Citrix and the delivery centre can simplify the way we as businesses can deliver a simplified and unified mechanism for desktop and applications to the end user. This is through:

  • One Application Instance
  • One instance of Windows
  • One instance of a workload
  • One copy of data
  • One password for the user.

Tesco have been awarded the Citrix innovative award for their deployment of XenServer.

For those in the know, or those who follow this blog you will be aware of Citrix Project Independence this is going to be known as XenClient and will be free!

Citrix Merchandising Server, has been announced which is a set of virtual machines that run on top of XenServer to provide subscription services to be the main interface between the back end system and the users.

Citrix Receiver for Windows, Version 1.0 is available today for Windows only.
