Let's be honest. As an IT Director, you've mastered DaaS and VDI, but you're probably still battling Citrix Licensing complexity. It’s the one area that still feels like an analog trap in a digital world.

Traditional models force you into huge upfront commitments. You're forced to buy a costly "buffer" that 10–15% safety margin, just in case of a usage spike. That's capital sitting on a shelf, not delivering value. And when you miscalculate? The budget-busting overage fees show up.

This legacy model locks up your cash and treats your dynamic infrastructure like it's a fixed-asset relic. We know your business is agile; your licensing should be, too.

Key Takeaways

1. Pay Only for What You Use
   FlexDaaS removes upfront licensing costs, eliminates the 10–15% safety buffer, and lets you scale your spend up or down monthly based on real usage.
2. Get More Value From Your Citrix Subscription
   Most organizations underutilize the enterprise features they already own. FlexDaaS activates these tools—monitoring, security, endpoint management—so you can consolidate vendors and lower your total cost.
3. Simplify Your Stack and Reduce Tool Sprawl
   With built-in tools like uberAgent, NetScaler, deviceTRUST, and CEM, FlexDaaS replaces multiple third-party solutions and gives you tighter control over your VDI environment.
4. Expert Help When It Matters
   Instead of dealing with Tier-1 delays, you get direct access to Altanora’s Citrix-certified L2/L3 engineers—24/7, worldwide—so issues get resolved fast.
5. Modern Licensing for Modern IT
   FlexDaaS converts VDI from a rigid, capital-heavy model into a flexible, predictable OPEX model aligned with how today’s IT teams actually operate.

Altanora FlexDaaS: Licensing That Just Makes Sense

Altanora FlexDaaS is designed specifically to dismantle those annoying, outdated constraints. We offer you a true pay-as-you-go model. We're turning your VDI infrastructure from a capital expenditure headache into a flexible, operational expense advantage.

The Key Benefits for IT Decision-Makers:

1. Zero Waste, Optimal Spend

It’s simple: you only pay for the licenses you actually use this month.

• No Upfront Shock: Skip the massive initial outlay and immediately improve your cash flow.
• No Buffer Required: We completely eliminate the need for that unnecessary 15% license buffer. That's immediate, guaranteed savings you can put back into innovation.
• Pay Monthly: Your cost scales down when things are slow and scales up easily during those crucial seasonal peaks. It’s the flexibility your finance team will love.

2. Enterprise Features, Included

Most organizations own a powerful Citrix Universal Hybrid Multi-cloud subscription but leave valuable, high-cost enterprise features completely untouched. It’s like buying a sports car and never taking it out of first gear.

Altanora FlexDaaS unlocks the full value of that investment by including and activating these critical tools in your subscription, helping you ditch expensive third-party contracts:

• Advanced Monitoring: Gain crucial visibility with uberAgent for user experience monitoring and proactive troubleshooting. Say goodbye to guesswork.
• Enhanced Security: Effortlessly leverage NetScaler for application delivery and deviceTRUST for dynamic, contextual security in your VDI environment.
• Endpoint Management: Simplify your stack using Unicon / CEM (Citrix Endpoint Management) and XenServer for hypervisor management.

By bundling and activating these tools, FlexDaaS isn’t just a license change, it's a cost mitigation strategy that helps you consolidate and save on other VDI management tools.

3. Expert Support That Actually Helps

When you have a critical issue, calling the vendor Tier 1 support is always a bottleneck. With FlexDaaS, all your Technical Support (L2/L3) calls are managed directly by Altanora’s dedicated team of Citrix-certified experts. You get real, 24/7/365 coverage worldwide from a partner whose sole focus is maximizing your Citrix environment.

The Financial and Operational Impact

The FlexDaaS model fundamentally shifts the financial equation for DaaS/VDI. We’re swapping fixed pain for flexible control:

For IT Directors running complex deployments, especially those with sub-1,000 users or organizations actively reducing their Citrix footprint, this model offers unprecedented control to give you the ultimate flexibility to only pay for what you need.

Your Next Move

The shift to a truly flexible consumption model is no longer just a nice to have. It is now the way modern IT environments operate. FlexDaaS gives you real control, allowing you to align your VDI costs with your actual business needs instead of staying locked into old licensing models. You also gain a major strategic advantage.
