Desktop virtualization made easy

Neu-Isenburg/Berlin, October 7, 2010 – Software manufacturer Matrix42 is currently demonstrating at Citrix Synergy™ in Berlin how desktop virtualization becomes reality and how computers can be transformed into a flexible, on-demand service quickly and easily.

Matrix42 has become an ecosystem partner for the Citrix Desktop Transformation Model, helping to drive more rapid adoption of desktop virtualization. The Citrix Desktop Transformation Model is designed to help businesses quickly realize the benefits of virtual desktops – flexible, virtual work styles for users and simpler, more secure desktop computing for IT. As part of this ecosystem of partner companies, the Workplace Management solution from Matrix42 helps with the automation, management and provisioning of virtual desktops.

“Desktop virtualization is rapidly being adopted as the best way to enable virtual workstyles. We created the Desktop Transformation Model to help customers speed the adoption of desktop virtualization across all users in the enterprise to more quickly realize the business benefits of virtual desktops. As a leading supplier of Workplace Management solutions Matrix42 has recognized the challenges of migrating and managing virtual desktops and has provided customers with valuable solutions. We welcome Matrix42’s participation in our partner community to help deliver value to our joint customers,” says Sumit Dhawan, vice president of product marketing, XenDesktop product group at Citrix.

“Today’s user wants to access their workplace from any device, at any time and from anywhere. The self-service desire of users and the necessary move to virtual desktops creates new management challenges for IT. Desktop virtualization needs to be automated, and license- and asset management of virtual desktops need to be transparent and managed. The combination of Citrix XenDesktop and Matrix42 Workplace Management makes this possible. That’s why our desktop virtualization strategy focuses on Citrix. We are very pleased to be part of the Desktop Transformation Model ecosystem as a competent solution provider,” explains Jochen Jaser, CTO at Matrix42.

In just a few steps, Matrix42 converts a centrally managed, physical desktop into an easily available on-demand workplace:

• Analysis of applications and individual settings to determine which applications can be virtualized and which way of provisioning is best for the user.
• Automation and configuration of complete Citrix XenDesktop® infrastructure.
• Migration of profiles and individual settings.
• Transformation of complete desktop into a comprehensive on-demand workplace by integrating the desktop into existing business processes, such as Self Service, License and Asset Management or Service Desk.

Matrix42 Desktop Transformation is the ideal combination to Citrix XenDesktop®. Because of the possibility also to add other aspects of limitless workplace management, the partnership of these software companies will be leading today and in the future.
