VMware did not have a representative at the Q&A. While Citrix has a timetable for its release of Receiver For Chrome, VMware is still in the midst of working on its implementation, Sheth said. VMware, meanwhile, is building a similar version of VMware View that works in the browser, Rajen Sheth, group product manager for Chrome For Business, said in the Q&A. Chromebooks are a compelling argument for a new class of hardware, and we at Citrix love diversity." "Bring Your Own Device feeds into this philosophy. "Users should be able to use whatever device makes sense to them," Payne responded. During the Q&A, Payne was asked how this might affect Citrix's Windows business, a fair question since Citrix is one of Microsoft's largest partners. "For the past 10 years we've been lifting apps up off the desktop, centralizing them in the data center and delivering them as a service," he said.Ĭitrix is looking forward to introducing Chromebooks to its customer base, Payne said. Payne says his company has plenty of relevant experience in delivering enterprise applications to Google Chromebooks. To bridge the gap, Citrix is working on Receiver For Chrome, a new version of its desktop virtualization software that runs in the browser and lets customers run their Windows applications on Chromebooks via the cloud.Ĭitrix Receiver acts as a front door for enterprise applications stored on XenDesktop and XenApp servers in the customer's data center, delivering them to notebooks, tablets and mobile devices.Ĭitrix Receiver For Chrome, currently in beta and slated for launch this summer, will do the same for Chromebooks, Google's new Web optimized PCs, according to Gordon Payne, senior vice president and general manager of Citrix's Desktop Division. Chrome was built with Web applications in mind, but there are still plenty of enterprise applications that aren't delivered online.
