Enterprise-grade Mac virtual desktops delivered globally
Provide the Mac desktop experience global users want and need, with the security of remote access to a cloud-hosted device.
Powered by cloud-hosted Mac desktops or virtual Mac workspaces. Delivered to users anywhere with Citrix.
Productivity anywhere
Fast, consistent access to macOS – on any device and network – to support your team (even when employees are working thousands of miles from the datacenter or using unreliable connections). Employees can use their local device to access the Apple hardware that they need to create from anywhere.
Lower IT costs
Provide new, temporary, and/or contract employees instant access to macOS without purchasing or shipping expensive hardware that may never be returned. macOS personalized desktops look and feel the same as locally installed ones, but can be hosted in the cloud and centrally controlled by IT.
Secure sensitive data
Your data stays in a company-owned cloud environment rather than on individual devices that can be lost or stolen. Keep that data secure by providing the right level of access based on each employee's location, device, and other factors. And rest easy knowing that MacStadium data centers meet or exceed the requirements of even the most demanding teams.
"As a result, users on any platform can access a high-performance Mac, and when they do, it is with the enterprise-grade security, observability, and management tools Citrix promises to provide. The service is available to support both on-premises and cloud-hosted Macs — in part, through an alliance with the erstwhile Mac-as-a-service progenitor, MacStadium."

Mac VDI when and where your team needs it
MacStadium provides the Apple infrastructure. Citrix makes it easy to deliver a macOS desktop to users around the world.
Apple mandates genuine Mac hardware for building and publishing iOS and macOS apps, but Mac hardware can be difficult and expensive to deliver to certain areas of the world and Mac doesn't come in server form.
Your existing Citrix investment extends to macOS with the same policies, same security controls, and same access model, whether your developers are in-office, remote, or international. Sensitive code and IP never leave the data center.
Extend your Citrix environment to macOS
Meet Apple's hardware requirements
Keep sensitive code and IP secure
Rendering timelines, real-time effects, and heavyweight creative suites push laptops to their limits. And for designers on Windows or Linux machines, macOS-exclusive tools are simply out of reach.
Citrix-connected Mac desktops give remote designers access to a full-powered Mac environment. They can ofloading intensive workloads from their local machine and access macOS-native tools regardless of what device they're sitting in front of.
Support distributed design teams
Reduce IT overhead
Right-size for every workload
When a senior leader or high-value employee requests a Mac, IT must source the hardware, configure it, ship it, and support it. For remote or frequently traveling users, that physical machine creates even more complexity: lost productivity in transit, support challenges across time zones, and a device that's only useful when it's with them.
A Citrix-connected Mac desktop delivers a fully configured Mac environment to any device, anywhere, without the procurement and logistics overhead.
Skip the procurement cycle
Support remote and traveling users
Reduce IT support burden
Onboarding a large cohort of contract or seasonal employees is a significant IT challenge — provisioning and shipping devices at scale, only to chase them down when the engagement ends. Meanwhile, new hires are sitting idle waiting for hardware instead of contributing from day one.
Mac virtual desktops spin up on demand, scale meet the business needs, and deprovision instantly when the contract or season wraps.
Scale up and down with the business
Get new hires productive immediately
Eliminate asset recovery headaches
Two ways to run Mac desktops with Citrix
Not every team has the same scale, the same budget, or the same tolerance for hardware management. MacStadium gives you two infrastructure options. Choose the one that's right for your team.
MacStadium hosts and manages the hardware. You manage the desktops through Citrix.
IT admins provision from a golden image in minutes. Users get in quickly. Manage growth and turnover without hands-on hardware tasks.
Two industry leaders, one solution
Industry-leading Citrix virtual desktop software, now available for macOS, with MacStadium’s cloud-hosted genuine Apple hardware
The Citrix DaaS platform gives you enterprise-grade management and security, with the ability to manage, monitor, and secure your Mac virtual resources on your MacStadium private cloud.
MacStadium handles the Apple silicon hardware so your team doesn't have to. Choose from hosted bare metal Macs or MacStadium VDI, VM-based Mac desktops that provision in minutes and plug directly into your Citrix environment.
