Deliver.
4 Citrix Systems, Inc. J 2007 Annual Report
Our  agship product, Presentation Server, has been re-launched under a new name – XenApp – joining
XenDesktop and XenServer. Our goal is to position Xen as a power brand for virtualization. Our go-to-
market strategy for these products includes a newly announced alliance with Microso as “partners in
virtualization.” Working together, were focused on technologies, products and programs that expand the
primary market for virtualization of desktops, applications and servers.
e true power of the Citrix vision comes to life when our products are presented together as part of an
end-to-end solution for application delivery. Recently, we introduced a single, unifying brand – Citrix
Delivery Center – to make it far easier to tell our compelling story.  is branding allows us to paint a vivid
picture of the transformational bene t of our products, encouraging customers to “transform your datacenters
into delivery centers.”  e Citrix Delivery Center product family includes our four primary product lines for
enterprise customers – XenDesktop, XenApp, XenServer and NetScaler. And, it distinguishes these products
as strategic components of an end-to-end system.
Into the Future
e forces of globalization, disruption, consolidation, regulation and industry revolution are all signi cant
drivers of our markets.  ese forces of change are signi cantly increasing the “degree of di culty” of delivering
applications over the network. Every IT organization is being pressed to support new virtual work styles,
creating an enormous number of business scenarios that require an on-demand connection between
applications and users.
Citrix is emerging. Were emerging with what is needed to become the strategic innovator of head-end IT
services – delivering applications and desktops from a dynamic server infrastructure. Were enabling IT
organizations to operate in a whole new way – like the provider behind your cable or satellite entertainment
service – where a simple “receiver” can provide all the on-demand services a subscriber needs.  e Citrix
Delivery Center includes the essential components of an “application receiver.” Its a system that will centralize
resources, reduce complexity and give IT control of the most important parts of computing – desktops,
applications and data. And, like a service provider, it will allow IT to operate with e ciency, exibility, and
agility to keep pace with business change.
e pace of investment and our vision has put Citrix in an amazing position. Were o ering the kind of
exibility, security, and e ciencies that businesses need from IT – especially considering the velocity
of business change that will be emblematic of the next  ve years. Citrix has a unique strategy, a tradition
of solid execution, a determined mindset, and the passion to make our customers successful.
e board and almost 5,000 Citrix employees thank you for your con dence, support and trust.
