As U.S. tariffs on IT hardware take effect in 2025, Citrix proposes a solution to mitigate costs through virtualization. Vice President Philipp Benkler discusses how businesses can maintain modern, secure systems without the budget impacts of new hardware. Instead of purchasing tariff-affected equipment, he suggests utilizing eLux, a Linux-based OS that enables virtual desktop use on existing PCs. Citrix's NetScaler product, which functions as a virtual appliance, allows companies to manage virtual desktop intricacies without needing additional hardware, potentially profiting from the current trade climate.
"In 2025, new U.S. tariffs have pushed IT hardware prices into uncharted territory... The April 2025 tariffs are already driving cost hikes..."
"...how do you keep your systems modern and secure... without blowing your budget?"
"...the Citrix offers NetScaler as a virtual appliance that can run on a server you may already own, obviating the need to acquire a tariff-eligible piece of hardware..."
"...Benkler has come right out and said the USA's new trade policy will increase costs for American businesses... Citrix all-but confirmed it and hopes to profit from the pain."
