Microsoft and Citrix Systems have announced that they plan to expand their existing partnership in access and end-to-end application delivery to make computing faster, more secure and more cost-effective for employees in branch office locations.
The two companies will collaborate on developing and marketing a new multifunction Citrix branch office appliance based on the Microsoft Windows Server operating system and Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server and utilizing the recently announced Citrix WANScaler solution.
The planned joint solution represents a new type of branch office appliance that combines advanced wide area network (WAN) optimization technologies with consolidated branch office services in a single, multifunction appliance that is easy to administer remotely.
"This is another major step in delivering on our overall access strategy and in meeting the needs of our customers in the branch office," said Ted Kummert, corporate vice president of the Security, Access and Solutions Division at Microsoft.
The joint marketing and development plan comes amid growing trends in both branch office IT consolidation and increased mobility among branch office and remote workers.
