Citrix acquires Numecent to modernize application delivery at scale

What Does This Mean for Numecent and Citrix Customers?

Numecent’s application container technologies are designed to ensure even your most complex legacy and resource-intensive applications can seamlessly run across all physical and virtual Windows desktops. Our solutions are trusted by the world’s largest enterprises, including those in heavily regulated and high-stakes industries.

Our industry-leading application container technologies, extending DevOps capabilities to Windows application management, will be further strengthened by integrating further to Citrix’s product portfolio.

Here are some words from Numecent CEO and Co-Founder, Arthur Hitomi:

“My personal endeavor started more than 20 years ago when doing my PhD at UC Irvine. It began with the question: With so many successful web applications and phone apps delivered at Internet scale with so few people, why are enterprises having so much difficulty delivering off-the-shelf software applications, or even applications they built themselves?

That question led to Cloudpaging; Numecent’s application container technology and eventually Cloudpager, a modern orchestration tool focused on delivery in a world of containerized apps.

Since day one, our mission at Numecent has been to radically simplify and optimize how applications are delivered and managed across enterprise IT environments. This led us to our “Containerize Everything” mantra. It’s all about ensuring any application can run on all Windows endpoints, while being effortlessly managed by personnel of any tenure.

By joining forces with Citrix, we are taking our “Containerize Everything” mission to an entirely new level. What does this mean for our users, partners, and the broader market? It means realizing the absolute best of both worlds.

For our existing Numecent customers: The technology you trust is now amplified by the global Citrix ecosystem of technologies, engineers, partners, and resources. You can expect accelerated innovation, deeper integrations, and even more resources dedicated to streamlining your IT operations.

For Citrix customers and new users: incorporating Numecent technologies into your application strategy means unparalleled application compatibility, mobility, performance, security, and resilience. Together, we are offering a frictionless way to securely work from anywhere without sacrificing functionality or performance.”
