Citrix building Workspace IoT for hospitals

Citrix Systems is creating what it calls Workspace IoT based on virtualization and open hardware technologies to enable hospitals to move away from traditional fat PCs to virtual desktops inexpensively. The product lineup includes an Internet of Things gateway, an IoT messaging platform and a casting tool along the lines of Chromecast of Apple TV. “We’ll provide the unified workspace to users regardless of what device they’re on – the appropriate apps on appropriate devices,” said Chris Fleck, vice president of mobility solutions at Citrix.
