Troye, a leading IT solutions provider, highlights the significant benefits of leveraging the Nutanix Cloud Platform in combination with Citrix to revolutionise business cloud environments. Kurt Goodall, Troye’s technical director, says this collaboration brings together robust technologies that streamline cloud infrastructure management, offering businesses a powerful, scalable, and secure solution for their digital operations.
Why use the Nutanix Cloud Platform?
Simplified cloud infrastructure
The Nutanix Cloud Platform simplifies cloud management by consolidating all cloud infrastructure components into a single, integrated solution. This hyperconverged infrastructure eliminates the need for complex, disparate systems, helping businesses reduce operational overhead and management complexity.
With seamless scalability, the Nutanix Cloud ensures businesses can adapt their infrastructure to meet evolving demands, making it ideal for growing enterprises.
By running Citrix on the Nutanix Cloud Platform, organisations benefit from high-performance storage, improved application responsiveness, and streamlined management, ensuring reliable performance across virtual desktops and applications.
Optimised performance
One of the key advantages of this integration is the enhanced performance delivered by the Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure. Nutanix’s distributed architecture and advanced data optimisation techniques, such as data deduplication and compression, minimise resource wastage and ensure superior system performance. This results in higher virtual desktop densities, reduced application load times, and overall lower operational costs
Secure cloud environment
Security is a top priority for both Nutanix and Citrix. The Nutanix Cloud Manager provides comprehensive security features, including data encryption, role-based access controls, and advanced threat protection. These measures, combined with Citrix’s granular access controls, safeguard sensitive business data, ensuring that only authorised users can access critical resources.
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD) on Nutanix Cloud
When Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops are deployed on the Nutanix Cloud Platform, businesses enjoy reliable performance for virtualised applications and desktops across global locations. This integration enhances the end-user experience by enabling fast, secure access to critical business applications from anywhere, empowering remote work and improving workforce mobility.
Goodall emphasises the importance of data security and business continuity, stating, “With Nutanix’s data replication and backup capabilities, organisations can recover swiftly from system failures, maintaining business continuity in the event of a disaster.”
Flexibility with hybrid cloud environments
The partnership between Nutanix and Citrix also enables organisations to embrace a hybrid cloud environment. This flexibility allows businesses to deploy workloads across multiple cloud providers, mitigating vendor lock-in and optimising resource utilisation. By leveraging a hybrid or multi-cloud approach, companies can design cloud strategies that align with their unique business needs.
Goodall adds, “The ability to integrate seamlessly with public cloud providers is a game-changer for organisations, enabling them to scale operations while maintaining control over where their workloads reside.”
Unlocking the full potential of Nutanix cloud solutions
By embracing the Nutanix Cloud Platform and Citrix collaboration, businesses can unlock a multitude of benefits, including simplified management, enhanced security, high-performance storage, and scalability. This powerful pairing positions organisations to fully leverage their hybrid cloud environment and accelerate their digital transformation efforts.
The Nutanix Cloud Platform streamlines cloud infrastructure management, reducing operational complexity, while its integration with Citrix enhances user experience and boosts reliable performance. With Nutanix Cloud Manager, businesses benefit from secure data management and robust support for business continuity. Additionally, hybrid cloud environments provide the flexibility and resource optimisation needed to support growing enterprises.
Citrix Desktop as a Service (DaaS) on Nutanix Cloud
Similarly, Citrix Desktop as a Service (DaaS) on Nutanix Cloud enables businesses to deliver virtual desktops with cloud-native simplicity and flexibility. In contrast to Citrix CVAD which is deployed on-premise, Citrix manages the user access, management services and components in Citrix Cloud. Nutanix Cloud Platform in conjunction with Citrix DaaS ensures rapid deployment and effortless scalability, making it ideal for organisations looking to extend their desktop environments without the complexities of traditional infrastructure management. This combined solution supports dynamic workforces, allowing business to scale resources up or down as needed while maintaining robust security and compliance measures.
Goodall adds, “Citrix DaaS with Nutanix provides organisations with a highly resilient management layer and adaptable platform, ensuring that desktop and application services are always available and responsive, even during times of peak demand or unexpected disruptions.”
Summary
The Nutanix and Citrix partnership delivers reliable performance, security, and cost-effective cloud solutions that support innovation and help businesses remain competitive.
