X1 Search 8 Virtual Edition is Verified as Citrix Ready

X1®, today announced that its X1 Search 8 Virtual Edition, a next generation search solution for emails and files, has been verified as Citrix Ready®. The Citrix Ready program helps customers identify third-party solutions that are recommended to enhance virtualization, networking and mobility solutions from Citrix. As the only search solution listed in the Citrix Xchange Marketplace, X1 Search 8 Virtual Edition completed a rigorous verification process to ensure compatibility with Citrix XenApp® and Citrix XenDesktop®, providing confidence in joint solution compatibility.

The Citrix Ready program makes it easy for customers to identify complementary products and solutions that can enhance Citrix environments. Customers can be confident that X1 Search 8 Virtual Edition has successfully passed a series of tests established by Citrix, and can be trusted to work effectively with XenApp and XenDesktop enabling lightning fast search of files and emails for Citrix customers.

Because best practice dictates disabling Windows indexing to conserve virtual resources, end-users tend to be frustrated by poor search experiences. With X1 Search 8 Virtual Edition’s availability on XenDesktop and XenApp, it is possible to avoid disjointed search experiences and reap the benefits of virtualization while also enhancing end-user productivity. X1’s award-winning interface and robust search of emails, files, & SharePoint, enhances the XenDesktop and XenApp user experience, with a back-end architecture optimized for preserving virtual resources and minimizing IOPS impact.

“While virtualization provides so many operational and cost benefits to the organization, we are always looking for ways to enhance the user experience,” said Greg Fox, Director, Citrix Ready Program. “We are pleased to include X1 as a partner in the Citrix Ready program, as X1 Virtual Edition enables lightning-fast search and retrieval of emails and files, that greatly enhances user productivity without degrading virtual resources and latency.”

“In order for organizations to recognize the full strategic benefits and ROI of desktop virtualization, it is imperative that IT provide a positive user experience to foster adoption, while effectively managing virtual computing resources,” said John Patzakis, President & CEO of X1.

• Enhanced VDI user experience provides unified search across emails, files, and SharePoint data
