The busy attorneys at Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP, a US-based law firm, pride to “maintain the highest levels of security and control,” while implementing Xen Client to their desktop virtualization.

"Our attorneys work extremely long hours and pride themselves on delivering the highest levels of client responsiveness,” Michael Barnas, director of application services, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP. “Providing a single laptop where users have secure access to all their corporate applications and also to their personal environment really helps with work-life balance.”

Unified enterprise desktop virtualization

Citrix Systems today released two new technologies in desktop virtualization aimed to incorporate mobile laptop users into a unified enterprise desktop virtualization strategy.

The new products, Citrix XenClient and Citrix XenVault, are targeted to enhance security and simplicity in managing laptops -- both corporate-owned and user-owned devices.

Since the desktops runs in a local VM at all times, users never have to go through the cumbersome time consuming process "checking-out" their virtual desktop by downloading it from a central server each time they leave the office. These new capabilities are all enabled by the new XenClient technology, a client-side hypervisor developed in close collaboration with Intel, and optimized for the Intel Core vPro technology. 

“For desktop virtualization to be adopted in a mainstream way across the entire enterprise, mobile users are a critical use case that has so far not been fully addressed," said Al Gillen, program vice president, system software, IDC.

Technologies like Citrix XenClient that can deliver the control, security and centralized management for IT while providing the personalization and flexibility that users want, should help propel desktop virtualization into a strategic initiative in enterprises large and small," Gillen added.
