Citrix, Intel Partnership what to Expect

Citrix and Intel announced today that they will be collaborating on the Citrix, XenDesktop systems. Citrix said they will be optimizing their application and desktop virtualization solution for the Intel’s Core 2 and Centrino 2 laptops.

“We’re delivering a complete solution around virtualizing on the client that will allow local execution and central image management,” said Louis Shipley, group vice-president and general manager of the XenServer product group.

Customers can expect to see the fruits of this partnership in the latter half of this year.

“One of the things that has kept virtualization from widespread adoption is support for mobile, local execution, and that user experience,” said Gregory Bryant, vice-president of Intel’s business client group.
