When deployed on Microsoft Azure, XenApp and XenDesktop give IT departments the flexibility of delivering Enterprise-class VDI infrastructure services for Windows applications and desktops with the benefits of cloud elasticity. The Azure platform enables IT to expand and contract computing resources on-demand. This elasticity simplifies management and reduces costs as customers only pay for what they use. 

You can now try a fully functional XenApp environment in Azure and deliver virtual apps to any user, on any device, anywhere. This VDI solution brings you all the benefits of a traditional Citrix application delivery solution combined with the simplified deployment and lower cost associated with utilization of the Microsoft Azure cloud services.
