Storage for Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Realize the potential of your Citrix XenDesktop environment with flexible, available, and cost effective NetApp storage.

NetApp can help you realize the full potential of your Citrix XenDesktop environment.

Desktop virtualization with Citrix XenDesktop lets you deploy and manage desktop environments and applications centrally, and allows users to access their virtual-desktop environments over standard network infrastructure. But many of the advantages of virtual desktops can be limited by higher storage costs and inflexible infrastructure. 

Using NetApp® storage, you can:

  • Reduce XenDesktop storage costs by deduplicating data stored across virtual desktops, user directories, and backup and DR copies.
  • Provision thousands of virtual desktops in minutes with near-instant, low-overhead storage cloning.
  • Provide users continuous access to their virtual desktops with 99.999% storage availability, automated disaster recovery, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) performance acceleration that addresses desktop boot or login storms.
  • Back up all virtual desktops and user data directly on the storage system while keeping a cost-effective, daily history of every desktop for months or years.
