Case Study: Fareportal achieves $400K/year real-estate savings with Citrix XenDesktop (Citrix)

Fareportal reutilizes expensive real estate by leveraging Citrix XenDesktop

Fareportal, a fast-growing online travel company with headquarters in New York and major delivery operations in Gurgaon, India, needed to keep pace with rapid headcount growth while real estate costs in Gurgaon soared. The company faced mounting pressure to reutilize existing office space, reduce power and endpoint security exposure, and improve manageability and mobility across its call center and IT environments.

After evaluating options and running a multi-quarter PoC, Fareportal deployed Citrix XenDesktop (implemented with partner AGC Networks), migrating an initial 30% of users with plans for a full rollout. The virtualization rollout enabled the company to accommodate more staff in the same footprint, cut an estimated USD 400,000 per year in real estate costs, reduce operating power costs by 25–30%, and deliver stronger security, easier management, and greater desktop mobility.
