Citrix emphasizes virtualization as a cost-effective solution amid rising hardware prices due to the impending Windows 11 refresh. Philipp Benkler, now of Citrix, addresses the impact of tariffs and supply chain pressures, asserting that companies face tough choices like delaying upgrades or downsizing. The eLux OS, developed by Unicon, allows businesses to repurpose existing hardware for virtualization, helping them navigate the hardware trap while remaining compliant with Windows 11 requirements without significant new investments.
"IT hardware prices are climbing fast - and they're likely to stay high," Benkler wrote. "The April 2025 tariffs are already driving cost hikes, and experts suggest further increases could follow as supply chain pressures and upgrade demands mount."
"With eLux, you don't need to rip and replace your IT hardware to stay compliant or ready for Windows 11," he wrote. "Instead, you can extend the life of your existing hardware and avoid the hardware trap."
