Citrix Video Conferencing

Today we are pleased to announce VidyoDesktop™ Virtual Edition (VE), a video conferencing desktop client that supports Citrix XenDesktop® and XenApp® virtualized solutions. As large-scale adoption of virtual desktop solutions continue, users need access to consistent, high-quality video from any location without being tied to a single client.

VidyoDesktop VE allows users working in a Citrix XenDesktop or XenApp environment to collaborate real-time through secure, multi-point HD video

Because of applications like VidyoDesktop VE, enterprises – and their increasingly mobile workforce – can now easily broaden their video communications solutions and extend the value of desktop virtualization, with HD quality video, audio and content collaboration. Through universal meeting invitations that are automatically generated as emails or calendar invites at the click of a button, users simply click-to-connect like a web conference. This can all be done in blended mobile, thin and full client environments, which means increased business agility and productivity for users.

VidyoDesktop VE connects with a number of endpoint form factors via the Vidyo infrastructure

Vidyo’s software-based architecture is well known for its consistent video quality that can work on any device and varying networks. That’s why it’s a great fit for Citrix mobile users who are looking to centralize control and security for their business while reducing costs. Vidyo’s optimized architecture separates video and VDI traffic, which in turn optimizes bandwidth management. By ensuring secure, multi-point video communications, VidyoDesktop VE is the perfect solution for XenDesktop and XenApp users.
