BARCELONA, Spain — October 17, 2012 — Today at Citrix Synergy™, the conference where mobile workstyles and cloud services meet, Cisco and Citrix announced a significant expansion of their successful desktop virtualization partnership into three strategic areas:  cloud networking, cloud orchestration, and mobile workstyles.

Cisco and Citrix believe the IT industry is on the verge of the next major architectural transition:  the mobile-cloud era. To help enterprise and service provider customers capture the market transition and transform their business models, Cisco and Citrix will collaborate to unify best-of-breed technologies into innovative solutions for the mobile-cloud era.

It will be great to see what innovations this partnership will bring, anything they can do to further enable mobile working, comprised of solutions to deliver further functionality not only to the end user community but the teams that need to manage and deliver the infrastructure and services has to be a good thing. I wonder if we might see solutions to help with the concepts of applications or desktops down a wire so to speak to bridge the requirements of the end user community with those teams focused on maintaining reliability and compliance.
