Case Study: Citrix securely expands Demo Center access, doubles user reach and boosts revenue with Bitdefender

Citrix securely expands access to demo center to increase sales

Citrix, a global secure digital workspace vendor, needed to expand access to its cloud-based Citrix Demo Center to prospective customers and extend trial periods from 24 hours to days across four global data centers—without jeopardizing security or user experience. To protect Windows Server and Windows 10 virtual desktops on Citrix Hypervisor while exposing the environment to new users and longer test windows, Citrix implemented Bitdefender solutions, deploying GravityZone Security for Virtualized Environments alongside Bitdefender Hypervisor Introspection (HVI).

Bitdefender deployed GravityZone and HVI from a single console to provide in-guest and hypervisor-level defenses that detect and block kernel-level exploits and advanced attacks while offloading resource-intensive scans to preserve performance. As a result, Citrix now reaches twice as many users, has generated additional revenue, maintains 99.99% uptime, reports a 100% success rate in thwarting intrusions, and avoided extra hardware purchases—delivering a secure, high-performance Demo Center at scale.
