Citrix

Maximize application compatibility, portability, performance, and resiliency across Citrix DaaS and Citrix DaaS Local.

Key Capabilities

Unify Application Management Across Citrix Desktops

Traditional deployment tools are not suited for non-persistent VDI or DaaS environments. Installing applications every time a non-persistent machine reboots or a user logs in using a systems management product is inefficient as full installs occur every time there is a scheduled or unscheduled reboot and installing on log-in can lead to a poor user experience where a user is logged into their desktop session but their applications do not appear for several minutes.

Maximize Application Compatibility

Cloudpaging can help package all of your applications including legacy applications that you have struggled to bring forward to a modern operating system Cloudpaging offers a path forward for your legacy applications by handling your legacy installers, applications that require compatibility mode, those that require obsolete OS components and more.

Avoid Citrix Image Sprawl

IT teams often install all required applications into their PVS vDisk or MCS snapshot. This approach to managing applications in a Citrix environment can be complex and time-consuming. Cloudpaging containers enable you to dynamically provision applications from the cloud, eliminating the need for custom desktop images and repackaging applications for different Windows Server and virtual desktop environments. You can then leverage all your sessions hosts for all users, rather than splitting up sessions hosts into silos for separate applications and specific sub-sets of users. Ultimately, this can reduce the amount of hardware required and maximizes Server-to-user density.

Unify Application Management Across Citrix DaaS and DaaS Local

Cloudpager provides a modern, cloud-native platform to dynamically provision and manage your entire application estate across all Citrix desktop environments from a single pane of glass. With native integration to Citrix Studio, Cloudpaging containers can also be published directly into Citrix, unifying application management across Citrix DaaS and DaaS Local.

Reduce Application Packaging and VDI Run Costs

AI Packaging transforms application packaging into a simple series of clicks, eliminating repetitive packaging and orchestration tasks. Cloudpaging containers also enable you to maximize server density by removing applications from base images and streaming them to end user desktops on-demand, including those in multi-session environments, potentially saving your organization more than 5X on desktop run costs.

Deploying Legacy Applications to Citrix

Watch Rory Monaghan provision legacy applications from more than 30 years ago to the latest Citrix DaaS environments by containerizing them and dynamically provisioning them to active user sessions with Cloudpager.

Deploying Legacy Applications to Citrix

Cloudpaging containers enable you to package and deploy legacy applications to any modern physical or virtual Windows desktop with full functionality, including support for drivers, COM+ services, printers, and more.

In this video, Rory dynamically provisions CorelDraw, Graphics X4, legacy Java run times, Word Perfect, and Family Tree Maker Deluxe Edition (a 16-bit application from 1994) to a group of contractors leveraging 64-bit Citrix desktops.

With Cloudpaging’s unique disposition layers, you have full control over which application components to isolate from the system so it can seamlessly run on modern Windows OS and devices. You could isolate an entire application, single DLL files, or any combination in-between to ensure the application can run without conflicts.

Key Use Cases

Cloudpaging’s approach to application virtualization fundamentally differs from traditional application virtualization and layering solutions. Applications are broken down into instruction fragments (“pages”) and dynamically provisioned directly to end users as needed.

Legacy Application Deployment

Cloudpager customers are able to package and deploy even the most complex legacy applications to the latest Citrix desktops in a secure and compliant fashion without the need to be repackaged for different devices, server environments, or OS.

Dynamic Application Provisioning

Cloudpaging containers enable you to dynamically provision applications, patches, and updates directly to Citrix Storefront or end user devices without building them into your base image. By provisioning applications directly from the cloud, applications and patches can be provisioned into active users sessions without requiring end users to log out or reboot.

Run Applications in Multi-Session Environments

Many Windows applications are not inherently built to run on multi-session environments. Cloudpaging containers enable these applications to work on your multi-session operating systems by mitigating application conflicts and isolating troublesome dependencies. This allows applications to travel with users dynamically across session hosts. This drastically reduces licensing costs and the need for custom images.

Simplify Software License Management

Cloudpaging enables you to set restrictions at the application-level, such as the number of concurrent users and time-bound usage constraints, with automated policy enforcement to ensure you are not wasting money on unused or unauthorized licenses.

Integrate to Citrix Deployment Mechanisms

Cloudpaging containers can be natively published to Citrix Studio, streamlining application management across Citrix DaaS and Citrix DaaS Local with ease. Get the benefits of dynamically provisioning applications run on your session hosts by publishing the Cloudpaging containers in Citrix Studio or provision applications directly to user desktop sessions via Cloudpager.

Application Management for Hybrid Desktop

Cloudpager is Windows OS agnostic, providing a single pane of glass to dynamically provision all your applications across Citrix hosts and physical endpoints, including Windows 11 and Windows on Arm devices.
