Microsoft is one leading the way in that strategic direction. Not long ago, the giant bought a company to improve business AI and data assessment for companies. Another big step in that direction is Project Reunion for running apps from the cloud. Now, Microsoft announced another huge landmark by partnering with their old friends from Citrix to build the workplace of the future.
Microsoft uses Citrix Workspace to improve on virtual desktops
The workspace of the future sounds dreamy but the bottom line for this partnership is to improve the virtual desktop. Microsoft will use the Citrix Workspace as a preferred digital workspace solution, and Citrix will have Microsoft Azure as the preferred cloud platform. That means that Citrix customers will move to Microsoft Azure and that will enable people to work anywhere across devices. , said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft.
How will the partnership work?
Citrix and Microsoft will set up a roadmap for the transition of application workloads to Azure and enhance the performance of Windows Virtual Desktops. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Citrix Managed Desktops and Windows Virtual Desktops will be interconnected to allow customers to run all their workloads on Azure They will also be able to access Windows-based applications across devices or platforms. The deal also implies that Citrix will build a Microsoft-centric Citrix Workspace for Windows Virtual Desktop and Microsoft 365, including Microsoft Teams.
