Technology.am (May 7, 2009) — Citrix’ XenClient offers a window to a future where virtualization is just part of the way that client systems are designed and built.

images XenClient is a strategic product initiative with partners like Intel, focused on local virtual desktops. They are working together to deliver on combined vision for the future of desktop computing.

This new virtualization solution will extend the benefits of hosted desktop virtualization to millions of mobile workers with the introduction of a new client-side bare metal hypervisor that runs directly on each end user’s laptop or PC.

This together with an innovative back-end desktop management solution for creating, delivering, and updating corporate desktop computing environments will transform the way corporate desktops are delivered and managed, giving IT all the security, simplicity and cost savings of centralized management, with an unprecedented level of performance, personalization and freedom for end users.

To net it out, Citrix is pushing for a future in which a hypervisor is a standard abstraction layer for every cleint and server–just the way that x86 architectures of all stripes are architected and built.
