Very shortly after Citrix announced its Linux technologies for vApp and virtual desktops in XenDesktop and XenApp, VMware reported that Horizon View will support Linux in 2015. And why these firms have decided to take this step? It is very simple. Companies using Linux and Windows would find a VMware and Citrix unified virtualization tool very useful.
In this way, they would no longer maintain two virtualization platforms, two support teams, two protocols, two clients and two different environments. They could manage everything centrally.
Citrix has acquired Virtual, a company specialized in ARM-based hypervisors to check and develop mobile applications. This recent purchase has brought to light the new interests of this company, that could be planning to take new steps in the market, like the release of a new virtual mobile infrastructure.
The fact that Virtual employees are experts in hardware, security and jailbreaking prompts other speculations, such as the possibility of developing a mobile hypervisor for smartphones which may allow running operating systems on incompatible devices, improving the security of its existing products or integrating both Citrix and Virtual tecnologies.
