The document discusses Citrix CloudPlatform and how it enables enterprises and service providers to deliver desktops, applications, and infrastructure as cloud services. It outlines the challenges of current approaches around complexity, unpredictability, and costs. CloudPlatform provides a cloud management platform that automates provisioning and allows self-service access while optimizing resource usage and costs. Examples are given of how CloudPlatform supports hybrid cloud models and integrates with solutions like XenDesktop for desktop virtualization in the cloud.

• Virtualization has prepared
Enterprise IT workloads to
be cloud-ready
• Private clouds are mainly
hosting datacenter
workloads but rapidly adding
desktop and collaboration
apps
• Most Enterprises (IT and
LOB) are considering
leveraging, or are already
consuming, Public Cloud
services, e.g. Hybrid Cloud
Computing
• Future of Enterprise IT is
projected to be “Hybrid IT”
