Cloud computing transforms the economics and nature of IT from a cost of doing business into an on-demand service that can respond to changing business needs. However, to be successful, the transformation must minimize disruption while adding value and efficiency. It must bring cloud economics and elasticity to on-premise resources, give cloud-based resources the security, performance and SLAs of corporate datacenters, and seamlessly integrate on-premise and cloud networking, identity management and orchestration.
Citrix OpenCloud is a pragmatic approach that makes the move to the cloud simpler and more successful for enterprises and service providers. OpenCloud offers enterprises the choice to leverage infrastructure technologies already in place or to add new ones, to connect their datacenters seamlessly to external clouds, and to provision applications and deliver them to their users. Cloud providers can extend the reach of their offerings by incorporating their expertise and best practices with the Citrix OpenCloud platform to deliver solutions that are both differentiated and competitively priced, and enable the trust and infrastructure transparency needed to serve as a seamless extension of the enterprise.
Cloud computing requires a virtualization platform that abstracts computing resources; networking infrastructure that optimizes, manages and secures the network; network bridging and identity management tools that integrate on-premise and cloud resources; and orchestration engines and self-service interfaces that respond to business resource requirements. Citrix OpenCloud platform provides that complete infrastructure, giving customers the choice to protect their investment and to attain the benefits of cloud computing without starting from scratch.Learn more
