Citrix was founded in 1989 in Richardson, Texas, by the former developer of IBM Ed Iacobucci, with a capital of 3 million dollars. Soon, Iacobucci moved the company to Coral Springs, Florida, where he had lived while working at IBM.
The original name of Citrix was Citrus, but had to change when an existing company claimed rights to the trademark. The Citrix name is a voice composed of Citrus and UNIX. Many of the original founders had participated in the project OS / 2 from IBM. Iacobucci’s intention was to incorporate the multi-user support OS / 2. IBM is not interested in the idea, prompting the company to abandon Iacobucci. Iacobucci Microsoft offered the post of technical director of the networking group, but refused to start their own business. The company’s first product was Citrix MultiUser, based on OS / 2. Citrix has licensed the source code of OS / 2 Microsoft, IBM and dodging. Citrix expected to capture market share from UNIX to facilitate the deployment of applications for OS / 2 based on text, but the product failed to find its market. This was due in part to Microsoft stated in 1991 its intention to stop supporting OS / 2. Roger Roberts was appointed CEO of Citrix in 1990. Roberts, a native of Texas, came to Citrix from Texas Instruments.
