Citrix president and CEO Mark Templeton said customer demand was solid across their core SaaS, desktop and networking markets, especially in the Americas and Pacific, supported by large, strategic technical services engagements.
"Clearly, the industry is rapidly moving from ‘PC era’ to ‘cloud era,’ where users are demanding and CIOs are embracing the consumerisation of IT," Templeton said.
"We’re driving the transition with products that change how people collaborate, how desktops are delivered, and how delivery networks are built."
For second quarter of 2011, the company expects net revenues to be in the range of $515m and $525m.
