What is Citrix best known for?

Citrix, part of the Cloud Software Group, is a cloud computing and virtualisation technology company that provides server, application and desktop virtualisation, networking, software as a service (SaaS), and cloud computing technologies. Citrix products are used by over 400,000 clients worldwide, including 99% of the Fortune 100, and 98% of the Fortune 500.

From the perspective of the end user, it gives people access to all the apps they use for work — web, virtual, mobile, and SaaS — from one easy-to-use portal on any of their devices, from wherever they need to work. And because the entire workspace is centralised, IT departments can monitor, manage, and support end users.

Citrix offers one digital workspace platform to empower secure hybrid work. It supports organisations to free their people to do their very best work from anywhere with integrated: desktop as a service (DaaS), app delivery and security, and collaborative work solutions.

The software publishes virtualised Windows applications, desktops, and resources to remote users. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops work in tandem with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS), utilising their High Definition Experience (HDX) protocol for data transferring.

Training and certification in Citrix validates the knowledge and experiences of IT professionals in New Zealand to manage environments that use the software.

Is Citrix easy to learn?

Citrix and Lumify Work offer an abundance of ICT training and certification courses based on your level of experience. Courses are easy to learn if you focus on your current level.

IT professionals who are new to Citrix or teams who are planning a move to Citrix Cloud, for example, can begin their journey through the CVAD-201 Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Administration course. This is a necessary step in enabling you with the right training and skills to manage and deploy Citrix Workspace successfully.

How can you learn Citrix? We recommend starting by becoming a jack of all trades in IT. In other words, become a generalist within your IT department to get an understanding of how the different parts work to support the system. From there, you can access Citrix training and resources through partners like Lumify Work. You can take exams and gain certifications and connect with the larger community of Citrix users.

We also recommend you focus on the technology to which you are more inclined.
