Citrix has recently revealed its acquisitions of deviceTRUST and Strong Network, enhancing its zero-trust security framework and improving the end-user experience. Furthermore, Citrix has strategically acquired Unicon GmbH, a prominent provider of the secure endpoint operating system (OS), eLuxⓇ, as well as the enterprise management platform, Scout™, which has been a long-standing Citrix Ready™ partner.
Founded in Germany over 30 years ago, Unicon’s eLux OS is deployed to more than 2.5 million endpoint devices across 65+ countries. This includes large-scale customers, such as some of the largest financial institutions in the world, with fleets of 300,000+ endpoint devices.
"The Unicon platform integrated into the already robust Citrix platform enables a complete, end-to-end End User Compute (EUC) solution with an endpoint operating system that is secure, lightweight, and cost-effective. By adding an endpoint OS to the platform, customers can repurpose devices to access VDIs on-premises or in the Cloud or SaaS-based services in a more cost-effective way. In addition, enterprise customers can leverage eLux to extend the life of their current assets as they look to the upcoming Windows 10 end of support." Citrix blog post 22 Jan 2025
