During the last show in Synergy 2010 held in San Francisco, Citrix has announced the first type 1 hypervisor for client.

This is a major improvement for the teams in charge of infrastructure and security systems.

Improvement of system infrastructures

In simplifying the deployment of operating system on client computers. It symmetrizes approach where VDI virtual desktops are hosted on bar- metal hypervisors running onhuge data centers.

Data Synchronization including environment accelerates application delivery means, even in case of loss of the client machine, virtualized environment that can be delivered to another device.

Improvement of safety

In the treatment of confidential data exceed the control by DRM, preventing the recoveryof corporate data outside the virtual environment allowed.

Characterization

Citrix has worked closely with Intel to build on the strengths of VT-and VT-x of its processors, then with manufacturers like Dell and HP to contain the restricted catalog configurations eligible for hosting XenClient.

The catalog currently supported hardware is described in the user guide at CTX125133

The hypervisor is available in Express edition.
