Seamless management of virtual and physical environments

Berlin, September 27, 2010 – Software manufacturer Matrix42, based in Neu-Isenburg, Germany, will demonstrate at Citrix Synergy 2010 (foyer 1, stand 301) how virtual and physical clients can be managed and automated comfortably from just one single platform. The company’s Workplace Management solutions are optimized for Citrix XenDesktop and enable end users to access their workstation and work efficiently from anywhere, at any time, be it physically, virtually or in the cloud.

Modern workplaces are becoming more and more virtual- and the demands on IT are changing:  In many companies, the provisioning and running of virtual desktops, software, hardware and other IT services can be complicated and time-consuming. Ignoring the difficulties; however, will blow all chances of significantly cutting costs by introducing an optimized management of these processes.  Matrix42 “Limitless Workplace Management” can help: it automates existing processes so that virtual desktops can be managed, tracked and provided more efficiently. Thus, management costs and the risk of errors in changes to the IT are reduced and less money is spent on the migration from physical to virtual desktops.

Many tasks – one control center
Workplace Management considers a user’s working environment as a whole. Matrix42 ensures that this workplace is completely provided and managed in accordance with ITIL and compliance rules. The end user can easily order required IT services themselves at any time thanks to the Matrix42 Service Catalog. This way, the end user is able to work efficiently anywhere, anytime and from any device.
All these aspects also play a role in desktop virtualization. The extensive portfolio, for example, does not only allow for the change-over from physical to virtual desktop by the click of a mouse but also allows for the automation of the Citrix infrastructure and the transformation from Citrix XenApp to Citrix XenDesktop. Migrating to virtual desktops and providing them to end users becomes very easy and IT management costs can by reduced by 40% when automating the IT infrastructure.

The Matrix42 Workplace Management solution is optimized for Citrix XenDesktop specifically. In addition, it offers change and revision management for the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) which ensures that risks in changing VHD images are minimized. It also offers a fully integrated license and asset management to ensure license compliance.  The solution is rounded off by the Service Catalog, which allows the end user to order their virtual workplace themselves and which ensures that the workplace is provided and charged automatically after approval.

Optimized IT processes thanks to Matrix42 and Citrix
With the current portfolio, which Matrix42 will present at Citrix Synergy in Berlin, the company does not only prove that it is a competent partner for Citrix in desktop virtualization, it also demonstrates how the combination of Citrix XenDesktop and Matrix42 Workplace Management lets end users work more efficiently, while sustainably increasing productivity, transparency and reliability.
