Installing applications on a local OS has always been problematic. IT must deploy applications, manage updates, and apply patches to each desktop device individually. Citrix solved that application delivery problem 19 years ago with hosted applications, where applications are installed on servers in the data center and then accessed via any client device.
With Citrix XenDesktop, a Windows XP or Vista OS is delivered as a virtual desktop running in the data center. Applications are delivered to XenDesktop virtual desktops using XenApp. This means IT administrators no longer manage individual instances of the OS and all of the continual updates, patches, and security fixes, on each physical PC. Instead, they manage a single instance of the OS in the data center, which is combined with user settings and applications delivered by XenApp at the time of logon, to provide users with their own personalized desktop and applications delivered from the data center.
By using XenApp with XenDesktop together, organizations dramatically lower the TCO and improve IT agility for managing physical PCs compared to traditional desktop management models.
