Citrix, VMware, NComputing lead the pack in client virtualization: IDC

Research firm IDC recently conducted an assessment study for the desktop virtualization segment titled IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Client Virtualization 2013 Vendor Analysis.

The report highlights the various vendors active in the segment and gave an analysis of their respective strengths and market positioning.

Leading the charge are Citrix and VMware in the Leaders segment, followed closely by NComputing in the Major Players segment. Other vendors in this category include Microsoft, Dell, Unidesk, Virtual Bridges and Moka5.

According to IDC, “The client virtualization software market is maturing at a rapid pace; new approaches such as workspace as a service (WaaS) and mobile experience virtualization are beginning to emerge. The market itself is beginning to consolidate as larger vendors acquire unique smaller firms to access new capabilities and customer groups.”

As per an NComputing press release, the report specifically cites that the company’s “vSpace virtualization platform has matured significantly over the past two years to provide scale, performance, manageability, and software client support for PCs/laptops and Windows devices.”
 
NComputing is also noted for its successful evolution from “a device-centric company” to a “software company with a client virtualization platform purpose built for simplicity, low cost, and minimal IT resources,” quotes the release.
