NEEDHAM, MA – June 10, 2013 – PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC) today announced its PTC Creo® design and analysis applications will be available and supported in a Virtual Desktop environment. Five of the leading apps, PTC Creo Parametric™, PTC Creo Direct™, PTC Creo Layout™, PTC Creo Options Modeler™ and PTC Creo Simulate™, have been verified as Citrix Ready®. Starting with PTC Creo 2.0 M060, these applications will be supported by PTC when running on virtualized desktops on an IBM server through a Citrix and NVIDIA-powered integration. PTC’s support for virtual desktop configurations will enable customers to realize improved performance when working with large assemblies stored on a remote server, while ensuring IP protection of the design data and streamlining administration and deployment of PTC Creo. It will also grant users the freedom to work on a wider variety of operating systems – including mobile – through the Citrix Receiver™ and NVIDIA GRID™ vGPU™ technology. In design and manufacturing today, customers face increased pressure to reduce IT costs, while improving flexibility and performance. They need to have the ability to get global teams up and running quickly in new locations, and they need all teams to be able to easily access the latest software installation by updating a single server. Virtualization of PTC Creo design and analysis applications can help IT managers accomplish this.
