Wipro Limited is partnering with Citrix Systems, Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to help accelerate remote working and modernise the workspace. The companies are working on a pay-per-use solution that is subscription-based and offers a consistent cloud experience.
Wipro will integrate its Desktop as a Service platform, virtuadesk, and Wipro’s Digital Workspace solution with a host of services offered by Citrix and HPE. The partnership will leverage Citrix® Virtual Apps & Desktop™ Services with a zero-trust security strategy alongside purpose-built Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) from HPE to 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 virtuadesk provides accelerators for cloud readiness assessment, cloud migration and application life cycle management. In addition, virtuadesk makes it easier to leverage the benefits that accompany Artificial Intelligence, automation, the Internet of Things, heightened mobility and advanced analytics. This creates an ecosystem for improved employee engagement and collaboration through simpler IT. Virtuadesk also allows for greater workplace efficiency and accessibility, with 24/7 access to apps and data.
