Citrix acquires thin-client vendor Unicon
Summary
Citrix, part of Cloud Software Group, recently acquired Unicon. It offers services such as the secure endpoint operating system eLux and the business platform Scout. With Scout, IT administrators can manage large numbers of endpoints, integrate different x86 device platforms, and monitor extended environments. With the acquisition of Unicon, Citrix plans to provide its customers with a secure client operating system and endpoint management that improves endpoint security, resiliency, and operational costs while providing an end-to-end experience for accessing enterprise applications and desktops. Before the acquisition, Unicon was owned by management along with a family-backed investor, who acquired all of the company’s shares from Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH in 2021.
