Citrix Dazzle

Posted by: ssnowden | Comments View Comments

I like the idea of Citrix Dazzle. Citrix is taking the approach with applications that they can be subscribed to by end users from any device from anywhere and still have a secure connection. According to Citrix, Dazzle is:

  • A self-service “Application Store” for corporate employees
  • A simple store front for applications published by Citrix XenApp
  • A familiar interface for end users to install applications for use with little or no training. The feel is like adding Acrobat Reader or some other web application
  • Free (2H09)

Cloud computing won’t just all of a sudden be adopted by organizations; but this approach does fit in with building a core that enables clouds eventually.

Live at Citrix Synergy

Posted by: ssnowden | Comments View Comments

I’m at Citrix Synergy this week at the MGM Grand. It’s good to see people I’ve met over the years as well as connecting in person with some of the Twitter folks too.

I’ll also be doing an Advanced XenServer architecture and best practices iForum breakout session with Peter Blum from Citrix on Wednesday.
