Citrix Ready program expands..

So.. at Summit we were made aware that new great things were happening on the ‘Citrix compatibility’ side of things. It all sounded well and then we actually saw the new approach. I am loving the idea so far. (Chris Fleck wrote about this so i think its safe to let it out )

This is the interface:

Applications are easily searchable and when you find the application you are looking for or add it, then you will have the chance to vote for verifications already made by others or add verifications of your own like this:

The interface gives every administrator or consultant the opportunity to both lookup whether other people have had succes running the application needed on Citrix products. But at the same time invites the community to share their experiences.

I actually think alot of different sites have been trying to support the application compatibility cause, but i think it is a great step from Citrix to deliver a good way for everyone to participate in the validation of applications run on their products.

I for one will try to share my experiences over the next few weeks, and i hope you will all do the same so we can get some trustworthy information into the database. The data we can find in the application compatibility list is no better than the quality we put in.

But in short this seems to be an extension of the Citrix Ready program, which Citrix launched to help their partners validate their products with Citrix products, and show customers that the solutions have been tested together.

Hope you will all give it a look and share your experiences, i think it will help us all with a reference base for applications.
