Citrix has added more flesh to the bones of its desktop virtualization strategy at a time when vendors are increasingly looking to tie server, storage, and desktop virtualization together. Earlier this year the vendor unveiled XenApp, its rebranded Presentation Server software, touting the ability to use a single Windows image as the basis for multiple unique virtual desktops, which it claims can reduce the storage needed for the images by more than 90 percent. Today the vendor launched XenApp Version 5, claiming to streamline the way Windows applications are handled across virtual servers and Citrix’s XenDesktop software.
