Nutanix and Citrix Join Forces to Power Remote Work

Nutanix, a leader in hybrid multi-cloud computing, and Citrix Systems are announcing a strategic partnership through which they will provide secure, on-demand, and elastic access to apps, desktops, and data from any device, in any location, at any scale through Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and hybrid multi-cloud deployments of Citrix DaaS and Virtual Apps and Desktops services.

“Organizations continue to look for IT solutions to support the agility, flexibility, and reliability required for a hybrid workforce,” said Tarkan Maner, Chief Commercial Officer at Nutanix.

The partners have a successful track record powering remote work environments for customers, including large enterprises, large public institutions, and cross-vertical industries including healthcare and financial services.

Under the planned partnership, Nutanix will become a Citrix preferred choice for HCI hybrid and multi-cloud deployments. The Nutanix Cloud Platform delivers an ideal IT environment to support Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops services in a hybrid multi-cloud environment. Citrix will become the preferred enterprise end-user computing solution on the Nutanix Cloud Platform.

Through tighter collaboration, Nutanix and Citrix hope to provide fully comprehensive desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) options for customers that enable them to procure, deploy and manage their Citrix environments running on the Nutanix Cloud Platform, delivered with original equipment manufacturer (OEM), global system integrator (GSI), service provider (SP) and public cloud providers in an efficient, cost-effective way and accelerate their adoption of hybrid multi-cloud solutions.
