Polycab reduces cost, improves manageability with Citrix XenDesktop

Polycab Wires Private Limited, India’s No. 1 Cables & Wires Company, today announced the adoption of Citrix desktop virtualization solution (XenDesktop®), that has brought in operational cost savings, enhanced IT conformity, along with enhanced security and employee productivity for the company.

Polycab attains its competitive edge by sustaining product innovation, superior quality control and customer satisfaction, which demands a top notch IT infrastructure. To overcome the challenges of the traditional infrastructure and enhance its business growth, Polycab decided to shift to a virtual infrastructure by implementing Citrix’s market leading desktop virtualisation solution, XenDesktop, and leverage benefits such as on-demand apps and desktops service and enhanced security.

Commenting on the deployment, Udit Pahwa, Chief Information Officer, Polycab Wires Private Limited said, “Citrix was a clear winner after our extensive market assessment of this category. Using an alternate approach to delivering IT such as virtualization helped us overcome the challenges that we were facing with a traditional desktop infrastructure, and we aim to save at least 25 percent of operational costs year-on-year. It has improved the success rate of desktop image updates to nearly 100 percent, eliminating capital expenditures for seasonal workloads, as we can now meet the increasing demand of users by delivering apps and desktops on-demand.”

Vishal Khare Director – Emerging Markets/Partner Led Business, India Subcontinent said “Organizations are increasingly embracing virtualization, instead of going for a desktop refresh, as they realize the long term ROI and benefits of virtual infrastructure over traditional desktop environment. We are delighted to support Polycab in their progressive journey of shifting from physical to virtual infrastructure, which will optimize operational efficiency, and bring in a plethora of benefits aligning to their business imperatives.”
