Citrix

Virtual workspace software

Citrix is a technology company known for virtualization and remote access software that lets users access applications and desktops from anywhere.

In workplace contexts, Citrix often refers generically to the remote desktop environment itself: I'll log into Citrix from home, Citrix is running slow today.

The name has become shorthand for any corporate remote access system, even when other vendors' products are involved.
