SiliconAngle reports that Germany-based thin client provider Unicon has been acquired by Citrix Systems for an undisclosed amount as part of its efforts to bolster endpoint security while curbing operational expenses.
Integration of Unicon's Scout enterprise platform into Citrix would let the latter's customers facilitate extensive endpoint management and x86 device platform assimilation, ensuring seamless end-to-end corporate app access while Unicon's modular x86 endpoint operating system eLux, could get leveraged by Citrix's enterprise clients to prolong their assets' lifespan.
"Our acquisition of Unicon will enable our customers to maximize the value of their endpoints, giving users secure access to the Citrix platform without the need for additional software purchases," said Sridhar Mullapudi, co-president at Citrix.
This news comes more than a month after companies deviceTRUST and strong.network were bought by Citrix in a bid to fortify zero-trust security for hybrid working environments.
