Citrix earlier this year announced a mobile email client, that would be native to a device. As time has moved on this year it is evident that Citrix are betting big on CloudGateway with the recent release of CloudGateway 2, and why not the concept is fantastic based upon the needs of an ever diverse workforce and disparate IT infrastructure.
With the latest release Citrix now has technology in their stack that competes with Good Technology leveraging their email client.
Email clients are a necessity on mobile devices yet they are full of security concerns as the clients built into the device are designed to share their information with other applications on the device.
Using a sandboxed third-party email client helps avoid this problem and Good was one of the first companies offering this technology even before the iPhone came onto the market.
Citrix's email client will be "MDX ready," which suggests that it will be able to plug into Citrix Receiver, ShareFile, and be managed using CloudGateway.
When we learn more, we will be able to tell you more. This could be an interesting ride based upon the focus that Citrix has on end user experience and the appetite they have for secure tablet computing.
