interviewed for The Nation Hugo Espinoza, executive Citrix, a corporation that u $ s 1,300 M bill some and not sells software, but is dedicated to the delivery of applications.
The work is no longer associated with a place but an activity. For several years this new paradigm is emerging in the technology industry. Following this logic we can understand the growth that has taken virtualization as a way to make business applications accessible anywhere that users demand.
In fact, consultants such as IDC data indicates that currently 9% of the servers already virtualized and ensure that this figure will double every year, reaching 40% in 2011. One of the most active companies in the business is Citrix application delivery. Some of his clients in our country are Comafi Bank, DeRemate.com, Antarctica Insurance, Ticketek and Scania. To learn more about this business, THE NATION interviewed Hugo Espinoza, general manager for the Southern Cone of Citrix, a company which last year billed $ 1300 million worldwide and 50 million just in Latin America.
To put this in perspective, the global business application delivery has grown between 15% and 20% in the last three years, almost double what the software industry grows it.
IDC believes that virtualization global services, which amounted to 5500 million dollars last year, reaching a value of 11,700 million for 2011.
"Telecommunications companies, banking and retail are our customers," says Espinoza. Tratz is connecting business applications, but not between them, as does SOA (Service Oriented Architecture ) but people use them, so we call Service Oriented Computing. "The example of telecommunications companies (telcos , in the jargon) is used to better understand these services.
" The telcos are basing their business model to eliminate branches and move to a customer based on contact centers and Web pages. They put their software applications within the data center and we will make ourselves available securely to their own employees and for others, "he explains.
Apps Delivery
Strictly speaking, the business of providing the delivery Applications refers to the components of a distributed infrastructure that companies implemented between data centers and end users to ensure the delivery of any application to any user anywhere.
"This is evolving from a tactical solution to a given technological problem to become a centerpiece of how they do business so that technology is increasingly important for business," says the executive.
Its impact on the Southern Cone is still incipient, but is on the rise. "Our turnover last year in the region was 6 to $ 7 million, with growth 48%, and last year we had grown 30%, confirming the business model, expanding.
Citrix is \u200b\u200ba company that in the past four years has bought 7 or 8 companies to expand its portfolio of services in a purchasing strategy that is reminiscent of Oracle for its speed to digest. "We have spent between 1800 and 2000 million in acquisitions and research and development. We needed a solution integration and went out to buy the leaders of each segment to sum to the bid. Now sixfold the market in which we operate, "he concludes.
