Citrix just released a press release in which the enhancements of XenDesktop 3 are being announced. The biggest thing is the integration of the new HDX High definition technology which will, according to Citrix, dramatically improve the users experience for XenDesktop and XenApp. Citrix HDX builds on existing technology from the Citrix Delivery Center and consists the following;
- HDX MediaStream: Accelerates multimedia performance by sending compressed streams to endpoints and playing them locally.
- HDX RealTime: Enhances real-time communications using advanced bi-directional encoding and streaming technologies to ensure a no compromise end-user experience.
- HDX 3D: Optimizes the performance of everything from graphics-intensive 2D environments to advanced 3D geospatial applications using software and hardware based rendering in the datacenter and on the device.
- HDX Plug-n-Play: Enables simple connectivity for all local devices in a virtualized environment, including USB, multi-monitor, printers and user-installed peripherals.
- HDX Broadcast: Ensures reliable, high-performance acceleration of virtual desktops and applications over any network, including high-latency and low-bandwidth environments.
- HDX IntelliCache: Optimizes performance and network utilization for multiple users by caching bandwidth intensive data and graphics throughout the infrastructure and transparently delivering them as needed from the most efficient location.
Furthermore some cool new features are announced like the integration of the new Citrix Profile Manager. And the capability to manage the provisioning of physical pc's from XenDesktop.
The product will be available this month!
