Citrix Ready Initiative Helps Businesses Select Best Third-Party Products for Their Application Delivery Environments
First Vendors Complete Citrix Compatibility Verification, Brand Products with the Citrix Ready Logo and Gain Exposure to Customers through E-Catalog
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Jan. 29, 2007 — Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, today announced the launch of Citrix® Ready™, an initiative to help customers identify third-party solutions that add the greatest value in Citrix-driven environments. In addition to providing vendors with a verification process through which they can demonstrate compatibility with Citrix solutions, Citrix is backing the initiative with extensive marketing efforts to drive visibility and demand for participating vendors’ products.
The new initiative draws from Citrix’s rich ecosystem of Global Alliance Partners who provide a wide range of hardware and software products that complement Citrix application delivery solutions. Partners who meet the verification requirements and enroll in the program can gain significant marketing and sales reach through Citrix programs and by featuring the Citrix Ready logo directly on hardware and software products as well as on packaging and promotions. The new Citrix Ready business-to-business e-catalog on www.citrix.com connects participating vendors with customers, providing customers with information as well as the ability to share reviews and comments on the solutions.
“Citrix Ready makes it easier for customers to select the best application delivery products and solutions for their specific needs from the large number of complementary solutions developed by Citrix’s extensive eco-system of partners,” said David Jones, corporate vice president, business development, for Citrix. “Citrix Ready offers customers an additional measure of confidence in the quality of solutions that our partners bring to the marketplace.”
The initiative currently supports Citrix Presentation Server™ 4 (32 and 64-bit versions), Citrix Password Manager™ 4.5 and Citrix® NetScaler®. Support for additional Citrix products will be added throughout 2007. Third party products that receive the Citrix Ready designation have successfully met verification criteria set by Citrix. Solution sets containing Citrix and third party products that address specific vertical market needs or specific IT capabilities can also be designated as Citrix Ready.
The first set of vendors to participate in the initiative include: Acxess, ActivIdentity, AppSense, BioPassword, Bosanova, Computer Lab International, Compuware, Courion, Crytocard, DevonIT, Ensure Technologies, enteo, EPA Factory, gemalto, IGEL, Integrated Biometrics, Macrovision, Neoware, Philips, Ping Identity, RES, RSA, ScriptLogic, Secure Computing, SurfControl, ThinPrint, Vasco, visionapp, VXL, Websense, and Wyse.
