Citrix says that “Project Kensho will support the vision of the ‘Citrix Delivery Center product family’, helping customers transform static datacenters into dynamic “delivery centers” for the best performance, security, cost savings and business agility.”
Citrix also touts its “Workflow Studio” based orchestrations which can “provide an automated, environment for managing the import and export of applications from any major virtualization platform”, which tools developed through Project Kensho can easily integrate into.
