Citrix Systems, Inc. is a multinational corporation founded in 1989. It provides server and desktop virtualization, networking, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and cloud computing technologies, including Xen open source products.

They are probably best known for their early development virtualization technologies to allow applications to be virtualized onto central servers for access by a large number of clients, as well as their desktop virtualiztion platform.

Today, they've expanded their focus from virtualization to include access-anywhere products, such as GoToMeeting, GoToAssist and GoToMyPC, though they still maintain a strong presence in virtualization with, in addition to their existing application and desktop virtualization products, their acquisition of XenSource, and resulting leadership role on the open source Xen hypervisor.
