Numecent, a leader in application containerization and cloud-native application management, announced a new integration between its Cloudpager® platform and Citrix DaaS™ and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD)™. This integration enables administrators to natively publish and manage Cloudpaging® application containers within Citrix DaaS and CVAD, supporting both cloud-managed and self-managed control plane deployments through Citrix Studio. This expands application compatibility, portability, and performance across Citrix environments without switching consoles.
By decoupling applications from the underlying desktop image, the integration eliminates “app-to-OS” friction and enables IT teams to modernize their stack without the burden of image sprawl.
Modernized Application Delivery and Image Consolidation
IT teams can now incorporate Cloudpaging application containers into Citrix DaaS and CVAD workflows without custom tooling. By virtualizing applications per-user, rather than installing them into images themselves, joint customers can prevent image bloat and sprawl, significantly lowering storage and management costs.
“By natively integrating Cloudpager with Citrix DaaS and CVAD, we’ve made it easier than ever to containerize and provision even the most stubborn legacy applications.”
— Arthur S. Hitomi, CEO and Co-founder, Numecent
Enhanced Disaster Recovery and Operational Excellence
The integration paves the way for enterprise shifts toward app-centric resilience. In the event of a site failure or ransomware incident, IT can spin up a clean Citrix DaaS or CVAD environment and use Cloudpager to securely repopulate applications from the cloud, drastically reducing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).
Key Benefits for Citrix Environments
- Expanded application compatibility: Package and deploy virtually any Windows application without modifying the underlying OS image.
- Streamlined management: Establish a single workflow for desktop and application provisioning across your enterprise.
- Legacy application modernization: Run mission-critical 16-bit or 32-bit applications on modern desktops without changes.
- Improved operational flexibility: Dynamically update applications outside of desktop images to streamline updates and reduce sprawl.
- Service resiliency: Enable quicker rebuilding of desktop environments while automating application restores.
“With this integration of Cloudpager with Citrix DaaS and CVAD, we’re giving organizations a streamlined way to package and deploy application containers.”
— Shawn Bass, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Citrix DaaS
“The native integration of Cloudpager into Citrix Studio is a meaningful step forward, enabling a more agile, app-centric approach to VDI.”
— Todd Hsu, President of Ferroque Systems
