Citrix buys Framehawk, a leading provider of secure mobile client solutions for critical applications for enterprises, enhancing its portfolio for delivery of virtual desktops and applications to mobile devices. Citrix combines the newly acquired solution with Citrix HDX technology and XenDesktop ® XenApp ® products to deliver superior user experience even in adverse network conditions, enabling mobile workers to access business resources as if they were in the office, regardless of time and location.

As a company, we focus on delivering the best user experience on any device, over any network. Adding to Framehawk technology portfolio allows Citrix HDX continue to lead the industry in delivering a powerful experience of virtual desktops and applications" said Bill Shultz, group vice president and general manager of the business division and service providers, Citrix
