Effective March 5, 2024, Citrix announced the availability of its Citrix Platform. The new platform combines the full suite of Citrix and NetScaler capabilities under one comprehensive platform, while also incorporating new technologies and functions such as recently acquired enterprise monitoring software uberAgent. The Citrix platform is now accessible through two simplified subscription options: Citrix Universal Hybrid-Multi Cloud and Citrix Platform License.
What is the new Citrix Platform?
The Citrix platform integrates leading functions and capabilities from both Citrix and NetScaler solutions on-prem, in the cloud or both. These include zero trust access, best-in-class app and desktop virtualization, and high-performance secure application delivery, all with end-to-end monitoring.
Of which subscriptions does the new Citrix Platform consist of?
- Citrix Universal Hybrid-Multi Cloud includes Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Premium, DaaS Premium, Endpoint Management, and all NetScaler capabilities for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and enterprise application delivery (ADC).
- Citrix Platform License is designed for enterprises seeking to expand beyond traditional VDI and ADC use cases, providing zero trust app access, secure SaaS and web delivery, an enterprise-grade web browser, and advanced insights and recommendations. This license offers unlimited access to all current Citrix offerings, along with future innovations and acquired technologies, such as the recent acquisition of vast limits GmbH, the makers of uberAgent.
Elevating observability capabilities with uberAgent
The recent acquisition of uberAgent is a pivotal enhancement that expands existing Citrix observability technologies in the platform. uberAgent offers customers exceptional visibility into the quality and security of their digital workplaces. Covering both physical and virtual endpoints, uberAgent addresses EUC monitoring and observability needs, including the ability to collect consumption and resource usage patterns of installed applications and browser sessions, as well as system and network metrics for security and performance purposes. All the data can be exported to Splunk, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Apache Kafka, or multiple backends simultaneously.
