Fujitsu and Citrix Forge Desktop Virtualization Partnership

Expanded Virtual Workplace Infrastructure Solution Integrated with Citrix Desktop and Server Virtualization Technology Reduces Complexity of VDI

Munich/Santa Clara, Fujitsu Technology Solutions and Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) today announced an OEM agreement that expands the relationship between the two companies to help customers reduce the cost and complexity of implementing a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for enterprise customers. Under the terms of the agreement, Fujitsu will expand its portfolio of virtual workplace infrastructure solutions, a key part of its vision of providing customers with Dynamic Infrastructures. Fujitsu will integrate Citrix® XenDesktop™ with “high definition” HDX™ technology into its virtual workplace solutions, giving customers a rich, personalized virtual desktop experience for end users in any location. Fujitsu also announced plans to add Citrix® XenServer™ virtualization to its PRIMERGY rack and blade server offerings. This will add an extra benefit, especially to customers already working with Citrix® XenApp™.

High Definition Virtual Desktops

Citrix XenDesktop will be one of the key enabling technologies for Fujitsu’s Virtual Workplace and Managed Virtual Workplace product and service offerings, helping to dramatically improve service quality. Using the combined solution, Fujitsu customers will be able to considerably speed up the deployment of desktops to end users, rolling out thousands of personalized desktops in a fraction of the time, and managing all changes centrally. In addition, customers will be able to instantly bring employees back to productivity with a few mouse clicks in the case of a device failure.

Customers using the combined solution may choose from a variety of systems, including VDI-ready Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers and Citrix Ready™ certified FUTRO thin clients, all tested and pre-integrated with Citrix XenDesktop. Fujitsu also offers a full range of virtual desktop services to support the offering, from consulting, to design and implementation, to production and maintenance.

“Desktop virtualization is one of the primary focus areas in Fujitsu’s Dynamic Infrastructures vision,” said Dieter Herzog, Executive Vice President Technology Solutions Portfolio at Fujitsu Technology Solutions. “Our goal is to partner with the leading technology innovators in each market segment, providing our customers with best-in-class solutions and services. Thanks to its deep technology expertise in desktop virtualization, Citrix was a natural partner for our Virtual Workplace and Managed Virtual Workplace product and services offering. By combining Fujitsu hardware with Citrix desktop virtualization software, we are delivering comprehensive products and services that help customers quickly and cost-effectively take advantage of the switch to a centralized desktop management and delivery.”

From the Desktop to the Datacenter

As part of the broad agreement, Fujitsu’s PRIMERGY RX and BX servers are also now certified for Citrix XenServer. In addition, XenServer and the Citrix Essentials™ for XenServer™ virtualization management offering will be integrated with Fujitsu PRIMERGY server management, ensuring a seamless management capability and giving customers a broad array of advanced virtualization management solutions for their XenServer environments. As a result, Fujitsu customers and channel partners will now have a one-stop shopping experience for all the hardware, software and services needed to create and manage a dynamic virtual datacenter.

“We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with Fujitsu and extending our work into both the desktop and datacenter virtualization markets,” said AJ Jennings, Vice President of Business Development for Citrix. “Fujitsu’s virtual workplace infrastructure solutions, powered by Citrix XenDesktop with HDX technology, can dramatically reduce desktop management costs while giving end users an unparalleled high definition experience. In the datacenter, Citrix XenServer gives customers all the power of an enterprise-class, cloud-proven virtual datacenter at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions.”
