Citrix Ready Workspace Hub is the central piece of the Citrix Workspace IoT solution . Citrix Ready Workspace Hub replaces HDX Ready Pi as it evolves to solve more use cases than just being a thin client. It is built on the Raspberry Pi 3 client with the Citrix Workspace Hub software as well as Stratodesk software. It is available via Citrix Ready partners NComputing and ViewSonic. The Citrix Ready Workspace Hub is a fully assembled device which can act as a thin client, replace your desk phones, and smart card readers. With software updates, the hub will soon solve innovative use cases around enterprise IoT dealing with workplace transformation, conference room of the future and more.
Raspberry Pi™ based thin client delivers the compelling economics of consumer devices. Citrix Ready verification ensures that it meets the performance, security and manageability demands of an enterprise-grade zero client. Device cost is no longer a barrier for using desktop virtualization to execute PC refresh, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 strategies.
