2024年前半、CitrixとMicrosoftは両社の協業を深め、クラウドおよびAIソリューションの開発を支援するための8年間の戦略的提携を結びました。

そしてMicrosoft Ignite 2024での発表を受け、CitrixはAzure Virtual DesktopおよびWindows 365の機能を拡張して、お客様の業務環境（= モダンワークプレイス）を更に効率よくセキュアにすべく支援を強化します。特にCitrixとWindows 365の統合運用にフォーカスし、Citrixが新たに提供する付加価値を解説します。

仮想化、ZTNAによるモダンワークプレイス実現

DX推進、生成AIの企業IT適用など優先事項が変化する中で、お客様の現状はより複雑になっています。デバイスの進化、ユーザーロケーションの増加、業務アプリケーションの多様化、入り混じるシステムの境界等に対処し、モダンワークプレイスを確立することは企業戦略を実行するための基盤と言えるでしょう。

Microsoft Azureクラウド、Azure Virtual DesktopおよびWindows 365はこの基盤であり、Citrixは以前からの仮想化テクノロジーに加え、ゼロトラストネットワークアクセス（ZTNA）機能でセキュリティを強化し、優れたエクスペリエンスと統合管理を付加します。

詳細に入る前に、Azure Virtual DesktopとWindows 365の違いを整理します。

One size fits all型のWindows 365は、決まったデスクトップイメージを一斉に効率よく展開するDaaSであり、Citrixがユーザーエクスペリエンスとセキュリティを補強することで理想のVDIの展開、運用・管理が実現します。

Citrix + Windows 365ユーザー向けの新しいライセンス

Citrixのお客様で、Windows 365を利用可能なMicrosoftライセンスを取得しているユーザー企業に対して、数量無制限のWindows 365 クラウド PC に Citrix を統合できる新しいライセンスを導入します。追加費用は発生しません。これにより、HDXテクノロジー…

Citrix Receiverからの移行は済んでいますか？なんて、何年前のトピックだよ！という指摘をもらいそうですが、洗練されたUIと操作性はデモ映えする一方、Citrix Receiverは毎日の私の業務の支えでした。
あれから数年、その目的と構成は変わらないままCitrix Workspace appに名前が変わり、新しい機能が追加され、Citrixプラットフォーム上でセキュアなアクセスを行うすべてのサービスへの入口として大きく進化しています。

改めて、Workspace appの特徴を整理しましょう。

• 業務に必要なアプリケーション、デスクトップ、データに、あらゆるデバイスから即座にアクセス
• 以下への共通のアクセスポータル：
  • 画面転送による仮想アプリケーション＆デスクトップ（VAD/DaaS）
  • ZTNA – Web & SaaS、レガシーなTCP/UDPアプリケーション（SPA）
  • セキュアなエンタープライズ用ブラウザ（Enterprise Browser）
• デバイスを問わず一貫した操作性とLook & Feel

よくご存じですね？
では最近の主なアップデートをご紹介しましょう。

新しいツールバー（Desktop Viewer Toolbar）
デスクトップ画面上を移動可能、洗練されたインターフェイスと拡張されたユーザーコントロールにより、ユーザーはデスクトップ環境設定、切断、サインアウト、パスワード変更などのクイックアクションを実行できます。
管理者はグローバルアプリケーション構成サービス（GACS）を通じて、ユーザーに表示されるツールバーコントロールをカスタマイズすることができます。
ツールバーデモ

接続強度インディケーター（Connection Strength Indicator）
ツールバーの「接続」をクリックして、ユーザーは接続状況を容易に把握し、問題を自己解決可能になり、ヘルプデスクへの問い合わせが減ります。この機能は、ユーザーデバイスからVirtual Delivery Agent（VDA）までのエンドツーエンドの接続状況を、その間のネットワークサービスも含めてリアルタイムで把握できます。VDAにエージェントを追加する必要はありません。
接続状況の詳細をダウンロードやコピーしてチャット、メールでヘルプデスクへ送信できるので、担当は状況をすぐに理解し問題解決までの時間が短縮されます。これは便利。

もう少しインディケーターの説明を続けましょう。

視覚的に接続強度表示：
接続品質を視覚的に表示し、接続が良好か、適切か、不安定かをひと目でわかるようにします。
