Join this session to learn how Citrix and Nutanix simplifies virtualized application and desktop delivery. With Citrix Cloud and Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, simplify the deployment of your virtual apps and desktops. The results will always be the same: simplicity, fast deployments, and lower cost compared to managing physical desktops.
