Wipro strengthens Citrix and HPE alliance

Wipro has strengthened its glorious alliance with Citrix and HPE with the aim of creating a package that accelerates remote working and modernises workspaces.

The big idea is to flog a seamless framework to enable a unified experience for organisations who don’t like seams very much.

This will be delivered through a pay-per-use model that is subscription-based, agile, elastic, and offers a consistent cloud experience. It aims to help clients accelerate their digital transformation efforts and work towards building a resilient enterprise that can operate successfully as a hybrid workplace in the new normal.

Wipro’s part of the pack is its Desktop as a Service platform, virtuadesk and digital workspace solution mixed with Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktop Services with a zero-trust security strategy alongside purpose-built Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) from HPE. The HPE bit will manage workloads and create secure, high-performance virtual compute environments through HPE GreenLake cloud services. The combination of advanced solutions and architecture will fully support the development of modern virtual workspaces with flexible commercial models to ensure business continuity.

Wipro’s iCore VO Satish said: “We are excited to collaborate with Citrix and HPE to further enhance the value we create for our customers. This integration strengthens our complementary capabilities in virtualization tools and platforms, desktop and application integration, as well as workplace management services. Together, we will equip enterprises to enhance employee experiences and build a collaborative, intelligent, flexible and sustainable workspace that helps them achieve transformative outcomes.”

Citrix Global Strategic Partners VP Sachin Menon said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way the world works. Remote work has become the standard for many companies, and together with Wipro and HPE, Citrix can deliver a powerful digital workspace in a trusted and secure public cloud where employees can access everything they need to get work done and perform at their best wherever they happen to be.”

HPE GreeLake VP Arwa Kaddoura said: “A key element of any VDI implementation is ensuring a customer’s platform supports the workload they are running. With HPE GreenLake for VDI, we are offering customers a broad portfolio of secure VDI infrastructure solutions to match specific use cases or workloads. And now, through our joint solution with Wipro we will help customers address their most immediate challenges and unexpected demands.”
