Its central application, Citrix Workspace app (formerly Citrix Receiver), is client software that allows access to all of a user's files and apps from one interface. This includes mobile files and desktops, in addition to SaaS and virtual apps.[8]
Citrix Workspace app replaced Citrix Receiver, which was the client component of Citrix products XenDesktop and XenApp, now Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.[9] It was released initially in 2009; devices with Receiver installed were able to access full desktops via XenDesktop or individual applications via XenApp from a centralized host, such as a server or cloud infrastructure.[10] The product's intended users were employees of businesses and organizations.[11]
