Wipro said that it will integrate a host of services offered by Citrix and Microsoft to create high performance virtual compute environments that leverage the power of cloud architecture and next-generation digital workspace technology. The combined solution will allow for rapid and easy deployment of secure and reliable digital workspaces. This will let clients accommodate increased calls for remote work, which in many cases is a mandate.
Citrix provides a complete range of digital workspace solutions designed to ensure that business operations can continue, whatever the disruption. Microsoft brings a comprehensive set of technologies to enable rapid implementation of cloud Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions.
Commenting on the collaboration, Satish Y, Vice President, Cloud & Infrastructure services, Wipro Limited said, “The collaboration is a testament of our strength and our joint resolve to enhance the value we can create for our customers. We intend to bring together our strong complementary capabilities on virtualization tools & platforms, desktop & application integration and managed services, to help mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Wipro is a leader in workplace management Public services, Citrix in digital workspace solutions enabling remote work, and Microsoft brings expertise in cloud development. Together, we can equip enterprises to enhance employee experiences and connectivity to help achieve strategic business outcomes.”
“Natural disasters and public health emergencies can strike anywhere, at any time. And when they do, companies need to be prepared to protect their employees, their customers and the communities in which they operate,” Bronwyn Hastings – SVP, Worldwide Channel Sales & Ecosystems, Citrix. “This is where technology that enables remote work can be of real value. When a hurricane, wildfire, or pandemic prevents employees from physically getting to the office, they can connect to digital workspaces and access all of the tools and information they need to collaborate and get the work done from the safety of their homes without missing a step. We are pleased to align with our partners Wipro and Microsoft to deliver this.”
“Employees operating remotely has become the new norm. Windows Virtual Desktop provides companies with simplified management and a multi-session Windows 10 experience, without the constraints of the physical hardware or a person’s location. Integration of Microsoft Azure Active Directory allows employees to work in a secure manner wherever they are. Wipro’s integration of these services along with Citrix will provide a secure and managed solution to enable remote workers.” said Giovanni Mezgec, General Manager at Microsoft.
