Ep. 13 - Tech Sessions - Citrix Flex: Rethinking VDI for a More Flexible Workforce

In this episode, Al Solorzano (Senior Vice President, Solutions Architecture, e360) and Troy Couch (Director of Digital Workplace, e360) discuss Citrix Flex and how it is changing the way organizations think about virtual desktop infrastructure, desktop as a service, and digital workspace delivery.

As organizations continue balancing cloud adoption, hybrid work, cost optimization, and evolving security requirements, many are re-evaluating traditional VDI approaches. Citrix Flex introduces a consumption-based model that allows organizations to align workspace delivery with actual user needs while maintaining flexibility across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
