Overview
The Citrix Ready workspace hub by NComputing (RX-HDX) combines digital and physical environments to
deliver apps and data within a secure smart space. The complete system connects devices (or things),
like mobile apps and sensors, to create an intelligent and responsive environment.
As a component of the Citrix Workspace experience, Citrix Ready workspace hub is built on the
Raspberry Pi 3 platform and becomes a robust service delivered through Citrix Cloud. At the same time,
a secure connection establishes to authorized apps and data. The complete package is an off-the-shelf
IoT edge device that integrates workflows and hardware within the smart space environment.
Citrix Ready workspace hub users must authenticate their mobile device through Citrix
Receiver to run published apps or desktops like Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop, Citrix ShareFile,
and Microsoft Outlook. The mobile device then connects to the Citrix Ready workspace hub
and casts the desktop or app on a larger display.
Note: This release is limited for use with Android mobile devices and Citrix Receiver for Android 3.13.4 or
later.
About Citrix Ready workspace hub by NComputing
In collaboration with Citrix, Citrix Ready workspace hub by NComputing enables Citrix Casting, which
offers two use cases that improve user productivity and collaboration. Citrix Casting leverages beacon
detection or a QR code scanner for connecting. With beacon detection, if multiple Citrix Ready
workspace hubs are available, the user must select the appropriate hub. A QR code scanner provides
security to mitigate unintentional casting to the wrong display.
•Session roaming - A Citrix session roams from the mobile device to the workspace hub.
•Screen casting –The user redirects their display from a remote session to an unoccupied hub.
Additionally, the admin can set up a smart space environment with multiple display monitors by using
NComputing’s Secondary Display Adapter. This permits the user to extend the desktop or app when
using either use case.
