This edition of NexentaConnect enables virtual desktop administrators to accelerate the performance of their organization's desktops on new or existing storage arrays. The solution provides greater density at a lower cost by reducing the cost per workspace. The solution also reduces the amount of storage required for a XenDesktop deployment and offers real-time visibility and management of individual desktop users using storage resources.

Compared to traditional legacy storage arrays, NexentaConnect for Citrix XenDesktop address the three major concerns that customers think of when deploying virtual desktops: performance, density, and cost. The new solution allows customers to run 75% more virtual desktops on their compute infrastructure and delivers 10 times faster end-user experience.

Other benefits include:

  • Reduces existing SAN workload by I/O offload
  • Optimize persistent and stateless desktop on any SAN
  • Optimize stateless desktops on shared nothing configurations
  • Simple to deploy and operate through an intuitive GUI integrated with Citrix XenDesktop Machine Creation Services (MCS)
  • Support for Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 and prior.  Citrix Ready certification is in progress
  • Built-in storage and desktop analytics
  • Capacity savings via compression and inline data reduction
