WHO IS INVOLVED
Citrix, the cloud software company, acquired Numecent and its CEO Arthur Hitomi. Shawn Bass, senior vice president and general manager of Citrix DaaS, led the integration effort. Financial terms were not disclosed.
WHY IT MATTERS
The acquisition reduces complexity in Windows application management by packaging applications into isolated containers that stream on demand without traditional installation or image changes. IT teams gain tools to lower desktop management costs, reduce application conflicts, accelerate updates, and recover faster from ransomware attacks.
