The new products Citrix OpenCloud provide to users the practical solution in the conditions of growth of number of various suppliers of the competing original "cloud" stacks. Instead of waiting who will win "cloud wars", users of the new products Citrix OpenCloud can provide the protected transparent connection to external "cloud" services which is not depending on specific hypervisors, standards of security, agreements on the level of service, networks and locations. The release of these products strengthens a leading position of Citrix even more — the only supplier of really open solutions for virtualization and network work in the environment of "cloud" calculations.
Ensuring required freedom and flexibility in "cloud"
With the advent of "cloud" calculations corporate users had a choice opportunity among the growing number of the applications and resources of the data-center provided in the form of "cloud" services on demand. Unfortunately, connection to such services quite often causes a number of the problems connected with security and incompatibility and often the services aggravated by suppliers who aim to tie users to the "cloud" stacks. To give to the users the chance to fully use the capacity of these services, IT administrators of the organization need to provide them universal and secure access from any device and from any point, having allowed not to worry about at what hypervisor work services what network topologies are supported and what platform the supplier of "cloud" service uses. Regardless of whether internal distribution of workload takes place, whether work through the partner in a hosting or external public "cloud" is conducted, service of users should be similarly provided by the corporate data-center.
