FSLogix Announces General Availability of FSLogix™ Office 365 Container for Citrix™

ATLANTA, Georgia, July 27, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​FSLogix, a leading innovator in engineering the enterprise class virtual workspace, today announced the general availability of FSLogix™ Office 365 Container for Citrix.  Announced at Citrix Synergy 2016, this solution enables enterprises to get the best user performance and IT return-on-investment when using Office 365 with virtual desktops alongside of their legacy profile implementations.

FSLogix™ Office 365 Container includes a range of new functionality to support roaming Office 365, and builds on the award winning release of FSLogix Profile Container, released in May of 2015.  This drop-in solution works with profile products from leading vendors, giving instant support for Office 365 and extending the life of existing infrastructure investments, while creating no disruption for IT or end users.

“Our customers are extremely excited about Office 365 for a variety of reasons, including reducing their internal hardware and staffing requirements, adding more predictability to their long term budgets, and moving to ‘per-user’ licensing models for their productivity apps,” said Mark Henderson, Director of Application Services, XenTegra. “With ongoing pressure to reduce operational costs and enhance business agility, we’re seeing the demand to expand the use of virtual workspaces across the broad enterprise.  FSLogix plays a key and growing role in making these projects a reality today, without having to compromise on other strategic initiatives like Office 365.”

Microsoft’s Fastest Growing Commercial Product

“Office 365 has over 70 million commercial Monthly Active Users, and over 70% of Fortune 500 companies have purchased Office 365 in the last 12 months – it’s Microsoft’s fastest growing commercial product ever,” said Kevin Goodman, Chief Executive Officer, FSLogix.*  “Starting today, CIOs can implement virtual desktops and Office 365 without having to rip and replace their existing profile infrastructure.  With this solution we’re seeing enterprises recover an average of 40 hours a year in lost productivity per-employee, while dramatically reducing IT cost and labor associated with supporting these environments for enterprise quality performance.”

FSLogix™ Office 365 Container For Citrix provides:
