Case Study: Swiss engineering company Noventa achieves lean, flexible IT and centralized virtual desktops with Citrix XenDesktop

Swiss engineering company stays competitive thanks to lean and flexible Citrix XenDesktop IT environment

Noventa, a Swiss engineering firm known for lean production and supplying products for customers like CWS‑boco, Nestlé and Siemens, faced rapid growth and increasing mobility that made traditional desktop and application management unmanageable. With more heterogeneous endpoints, expanding remote and home‑office users, and strict requirements for flexibility, security and cost efficiency, the IT team needed a way to deliver consistent, easy‑to‑manage workspaces with minimal personnel overhead.

Noventa centralized application delivery and virtual desktops using Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop on XenServer, added mirrored storage with automatic failover, and deployed NetScaler VPX for secure remote access and load balancing. The result: simpler central image management and faster rollouts, secure global access from any device, improved availability and disaster recovery, reduced administrative effort and hardware consolidation — enabling Noventa to move toward a private “Noventa cloud” and broader mobile device support.
