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 latest Raspberry Pi 4 client with the Citrix workspace hub software as well as IGEL/Stratodesk/Atrust software. It is available via Citrix Ready partners NComputing, ViewSonic, Atrust and IGEL. 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. The workspace hub enables innovative use cases around enterprise IoT providing workplace transformation, hybrid work styles, conference rooms 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.

What additional use cases can Citrix Ready workspace hub solve over HDX Ready Pi as a thin client?
The Citrix Ready workspace hub adds the following capabilities over HDX Ready pi.
Dual monitor supportOptimized for Skype for Business voice and videoManagement by Citrix Endpoint Management, formerly XenMobileProximity authentication replaces need for tap and go cardsCitrix CastingWhat is Citrix Casting?
Citrix Casting is a new innovative capability which allows end users to
Instantly and securely access any app from a mobile device on a large screenProvide security and proximity based authentication as easy as tap and go smart cards without any specialized hardware Wireless docking solution for any workplaceWho should we contact for support?
Support is provided directly by the manufacturers NComputing , Stratodesk , ViewSonic and Atrust .
What is included in the Citrix Ready workspace hub?
The price is for a fully packaged and assembled Raspberry Pi 3, including preloaded Flash storage with OS and device management software, power supply, and Citrix Receiver. Large volume orders may qualify for bulk discounts. Keyboard, mouse and monitor are available for separate purchase, like any other thin client.
How is the Citrix Ready workspace hub different from standard Pi?
The Citrix Ready workspace hub contains Citrix HDX optimization using the HDX system-on-chip SDK. Unlike the standard Raspberry Pi that is generally sold without any accessories, Citrix Ready workspace hub is fully assembled, and it is sold and supported by Citrix Ready partners, making it simple to deploy and operate without any additional time or effort.
Is a particular edition or release of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, formerly XenApp and XenDesktop, required to work with Citrix Ready workspace hub (formerly known as HDX Ready Pi)?
The compatibility of Citrix Ready workspace hub is listed on the Marketplace profiles of ViewSonic, NComputing and Atrust. Testing has been completed with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, including both Web Interface and StoreFront.
Advanced capabilities such as Citrix Casting requires Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops platinum. The Citrix Ready workspace hub can be managed standalone as a thin client. Citrix Endpoint Management can simplify the management by providing a unified endpoint management solution to manage all endpoint via a single console.
Is a particular release of Citrix Workspace app required?
The latest Citrix Workspace app for Linux will be preinstalled with the thin client along with the Citrix HDX RealTime Media Engine (client component of the HDX RealTime Optimization Pack).
