ECT Consulting designs, deploys, and supports Citrix environments. The Citrix landscape has shifted significantly — Citrix's transition away from file-based licensing in April 2026 represents a forced architectural decision for thousands of organizations. Whether you're navigating these changes, modernizing an aging deployment, or building from scratch, we can help.
Citrix App and Desktop Virtualization
ECT Consulting designs and deploys Citrix virtual app and desktop solutions across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid architectures. Citrix DaaS centralizes management and scales more easily than traditional on-premises deployments. We help organizations evaluate the right model, whether that's a full DaaS migration, a hybrid configuration, or a greenfield deployment. For organizations still running legacy Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD) environments, we also provide remediation, upgrade planning, and migration services to bring aging infrastructure current.
Secure Private Access
The traditional VPN model can no longer keep pace with today's hybrid workforce. Employees and contractors are accessing corporate resources from unmanaged devices across untrusted networks. Zero Trust has become a baseline requirement for virtual desktop deployments in 2026, driven by regulatory pressure and the growing frequency of ransomware attacks targeting VDI environments.
Citrix Secure Private Access addresses this with a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) framework that enforces adaptive, identity-aware policies for every connection, regardless of application type or location. ECT Consulting designs and implements Secure Private Access solutions that reduce attack surface, eliminate implicit trust, and deliver a better user experience than legacy VPN — without sacrificing control or visibility.
NetScaler Application Delivery and Security
NetScaler is the backbone of secure, high-performance application delivery for organizations of all sizes, and it extends well beyond its traditional role as a Citrix front-end. NetScaler handles WAF, bot mitigation, and API protection in a single pass — instead of running three separate tools to cover the same ground. Notably, NetScaler is now the first application delivery platform to offer NIST-aligned hybrid Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), protecting data against future quantum decryption attacks.
ECT Consulting handles NetScaler deployments for Citrix virtual desktop environments, enterprise application publishing, and customer-facing workloads alike — including microservices and API-driven architectures. We also provide ongoing NetScaler support, including patch management, configuration hardening, and health assessments. Given NetScaler's continued prominence as a high-value target for attackers, keeping it current is not optional.
