Citrix HDX Technology

High-definition user experience

As virtual desktop (VDI) solutions and virtual applications become mainstream in the enterprise, IT organizations are faced with the growing challenge of providing an experience for employees that is the same or better than a traditional PC with installed software, whether accessed locally on the corporate network or when accessed from outside the corporate network for remote desktop access. Some virtual desktop solutions take a narrow approach to this problem, relying on point technologies that work only under a limited set of conditions. Others take a proprietary approach, requiring specialized hardware and unnecessary system upgrades.

Only Citrix HDX is designed to address problems in all parts of the IT infrastructure, from the datacenter to the device, adapting to changes in the environment by applying the best technologies for each unique user scenario, whether the desktop is accessed locally on the corporate network or from outside the corporate firewall for remote desktop access.

From datacenter to device
Citrix HDX includes a broad set of technologies designed to enable a high-definition user experience for virtual desktops and applications. HDX builds on existing technologies in products like Citrix XenDesktop™ and Citrix XenApp™, extending them with new innovations for today’s media-rich user environments.

These technologies reside across the entire end-to-end delivery system. HDX in the datacenter leverages the processing power and scalability of servers to deliver advanced graphical and multimedia performance, regardless of the capabilities of the endpoint device. HDX on the network incorporates advanced optimization and acceleration capabilities such as the Citrix ICA® virtual delivery protocol and other third-party technologies to deliver a great user experience over any network, including for remote desktop access over high-latency, low-bandwidth environments. HDX at the device leverages the computing capacity of endpoint devices to enhance user experience in the most efficient way possible.

There are six categories of HDX technologies that work together in concert to provide the best experience for all user scenarios. Each of these six categories includes a broad range of new and existing technologies that extend throughout the Citrix Delivery Center™ product family.
