Welcome to Episode 391 of the Microsoft Cloud IT Pro Podcast. In this episode, Scott sits down with Kamal Srinivasan from Parallels to talk how you can think about delivering applications and desktops to your users in post-Citrix world. As the traditional “Citrix” model faces disruption, we explore how remote work, hybrid scenarios, and cloud-based computing are redefining how organizations deliver applications and desktops to end users.

Key topics include:

• 
  
• The shift away from static, on-prem desktops to dynamic, cloud-based compute.
  
• How to optimize app delivery by building on top of Microsoft’s Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) platform.
  
• Bridging the gap between legacy systems and cloud-based solutions, enabling businesses to roll out remote desktop solutions like AVD and Parallels RAS gradually while scaling down on-prem infrastructure.
  
• The changing role of IT admins in supporting a workforce that operates anywhere, anytime.
  

Listen in and learn how your organization can streamline operations and empower your workforce with flexible, efficient application and desktop delivery.
