Citrix Systems signs six licensing deals
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 11 (Reuters) - Citrix Systems Inc said on Wednesday it signed definitive licensing agreements with six leading hardware and software manufacturers, including Hewlett-Packard Co's (HWP - news) medical products group and Philips Electronics NV (NYSE:PHG - news; PHG.AS).
The stock rose 2-3/4 to 43-3/8 in active trade.
Citrix also said it signed pacts with Websonic, QNX Software Systems, Bryant Computers and Symbol Technologies Inc (SBL - news) for its independent computing architecture protocol, a standard for thin-client/server computing that enables the deployment of Windows-based applications in an enterprise.
Under the licensing agreements, Citrix granted the companies the right to embed its independent computing architecture protocol technology into a range of products, including embedded operating systems, Windows-based terminals, medical equipment and wireless, handheld devices.
''The addition of these six computer equipment manufacturers to our family of distinguished independent computing architecture licensees furthers our strategy for making business-critical Windows applications accessible to the broadest range of users, regardless of user location, type of client device, operating platform or available bandwidth,'' Edward Iacobucci, Citrix chairman, said.
