The Traditional Cloud Model:

Trade-off Between Cloud Simplicity or IT Control

Management and your

IP had to be in one cloud

• Limits choice

• Limits economics

• Limits compliance

• Limits control Your Data, Your IP

Single Vendor Cloud


With Citrix Cloud:

More Flexibility, Simplicity, And IT Control

Management in the cloud (Citrix operates)

• Consistent user experience

• Single, unified console/login

• Service integration

• Automatic updates

Cloud Connector

• Installs on any domain-joined Windows 2012 R2 Server

• Entire Traffic is “outbound” into the cloud via HTTPS (port 443)

• Works without any friction behind NAT and HTTP Proxies

• Auto-update keeps the Connector always up to date

1. Administrator - establishes account - determines Resource Location(s)

2. Services are provisioned - Resource Location(s) are created - Cloud Connector deployed - Admin configures workspaces - Admin adds-in applications - directory securely accessed - workloads + services deployed

3. Subscribers authenticate securely

4. Workspaces accessed directly by end-users from Resource Location(s) - using Citrix Receiver
