On-Prem Environment
On-Prem Platform Overview
Here we utilize Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops which provides a comprehensive on-premises virtualization solution that enables secure delivery of applications and desktops to any device, anywhere. This platform offers complete control over your virtualization infrastructure while maintaining enterprise-grade security and performance.
Staying with Citrix, but want On-Prem Modernization?
The modern approach to on-premises Citrix deployment leverages Citrix Cloud as a hybrid management layer, revolutionizing how organizations manage their virtualization infrastructure. This modernization strategy maintains your data and resources on-premises while utilizing cloud-based management services for enhanced efficiency and reduced operational complexity.

Key Benefits for On-Premises Deployment
Complete Data Control and Sovereignty
Your organization maintains full control over all data, applications, and infrastructure. This is critical for industries with strict compliance requirements (healthcare, finance, government) where data must remain within specific geographic boundaries or regulatory frameworks. All processing occurs within your controlled environment, eliminating concerns about third-party data access.
Enhanced Security and Compliance
On-premises Citrix deployment provides multi-layered security including network isolation, granular access controls, and the ability to implement custom security policies. You can integrate with existing Active Directory, PKI infrastructure, and security tools. The platform supports advanced features like session recording, watermarking, and data loss prevention (DLP) that can be configured to meet specific regulatory requirements.
Predictable Performance and Costs
With dedicated hardware resources, you can guarantee consistent performance for critical applications. There are no variable cloud costs or bandwidth limitations affecting user experience. Long-term operational costs become more predictable as you’re not subject to cloud pricing fluctuations or data egress charges.
Customization and Integration Flexibility
On-premises deployment allows deep customization of the virtualization environment to meet specific business requirements. You can integrate with legacy systems, customize user profiles, implement specialized storage solutions, and modify network configurations without cloud platform limitations.
