Break-out Sessions
RES Software will host an educational break-out session during Citrix Synergy led by our Sr. Director of Global Product Marketing, Jeff Wettlaufer and Principal Product Manager, Bob de Kousemaeker.
Delivering ITaaS today with Citrix technology (SYN603)
The boundaries between work and life have blurred, and people expect consistent access to corporate services from wherever they are, on whichever device they are using. As mobile users transition between these different contexts, IT is faced with a broad complexity of security, performance and support challenges. In addition, the need to support new technologies drives requirements for simplified automation portfolios. These must be answered with a centrally controlled, flexible, simple solution designed to provide a consistent workspace to the user that understands their context beyond identity, and reacts to that context with dynamic services. Today’s organization also requires simplified management and context aware services supported by a highly automated infrastructure fabric, and a user-provisioned self service catalog. In this session you will see a demonstration-rich technical overview of how you can deliver IT as a Service today using the latest Citrix technologies.

Intel Corporation: Intelligent Desktop Virtualisation helps optimise your deployment (SYN602)
Your IT department is under a lot of pressure. Users are bringing in devices you don't necessarily support. They're accessing cloud applications you didn't even know existed! Of course, they expect IT to support them. Your IT budget isn't getting any bigger yet demands to do more with less are increasing. Traditional distributed desktop management can't keep up with these external forces. As a result, you're probably looking at desktop virtualization to help you solve these problems and accommodate new usage models. Attend Intel's session on Intelligent Desktop Virtualization (IDV) to learn how to make the most of desktop virtualization technologies and strike the right balance among user experience, IT control, costs and flexibility. Learn more about how RES works with Intel as IDV Partner.
In this session you will learn:
- About Intelligent Desktop Virtualization
- Why it is important and how it can help your enterprise
- How today's solutions map to IDV
