Citrix

Unicon’s operating system eLux allows Citrix to deliver customers an end-to-end platform to securely access apps and resources from the endpoint to the resource

Citrix, a business unit of Cloud Software Group, Inc., announced the strategic acquisition of Unicon GmbH, a Citrix Ready™ partner and provider of the secure endpoint operating system (OS), eLux, along with the enterprise management platform, Scout™.

With the acquisition of Unicon, Citrix will provide customers with a secure client OS and endpoint management that dramatically improves endpoint security, resiliency and operational costs, while providing a seamless end-to-end experience for access to corporate applications and desktops. 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.

“The hybrid work model embraced by countless companies today brings tremendous opportunities for employees, as well as challenges for IT teams who must balance security, performance, scalability, and cost savings,” said Sridhar Mullapudi, co-president of Citrix. “Our acquisition of Unicon will enable our customers to maximize the value of their endpoints, giving users secure access to the Citrix platform without the need for additional software purchases. We are proud to welcome Unicon to the Citrix family and look forward to supporting today’s evolving workforce.”
