MacStadium + Citrix
Empowering global teams without compromising IT efficiency
How a global airline streamlined mobile app development with virtualized macOS desktops
The Challenge
Manual computer provisioning and global shipping created costly delays and risk.
- iOS developers in India and Mexico were waiting 2 to 10 weeks to receive Macs due to long procurement, provisioning, and shipping timelines.
- Physical Macs were frequently lost, delayed, or misconfigured—slowing delivery of app updates and exposing the company to security risks.
- IT teams were stretched thin managing hardware lifecycles and ensuring compliance across borders.
“We have a process in place, but it takes time to order the Mac, provision it, and then get it there. And then it has to be shipped back when they’re done. It’s just not efficient.”
— Cybersecurity Architect, Fortune 500 Airline
The Solution
MacStadium + Citrix enabled instant-on, secure macOS desktops—ready day one.
- Macs are hosted in a secure data center and provisioned with base macOS images by MacStadium.
- The airline’s IT team applies security protocols and MDM policies to each instance, then integrates them seamlessly into their existing Citrix environment.
- Offshore developers authenticate through the same Citrix SSO system used for other platforms, maintaining a unified, secure access model.
