XenServer 5 Std and Enterprise NOW offered FREE
Any Server. Anywhere. Anytime.
Citrix XenServer™ is server virtualization that makes datacenters more agile and efficient through faster application
delivery, higher levels of availability and improved utilization of IT resources.
XenServer delivers the advanced features required by mission critical workloads without sacrificing the ease-of-use
necessary for wide-scale deployments. The unique provisioning technology of XenServer can rapidly deliver workloads
across virtual or physical servers making it the ideal virtualization platform for every server in the enterprise.
Uniquely open
XenServer is based on the open source Xen® hypervisor, an exceptionally lean technology that delivers low overhead and
near-native performance. Leveraging both Intel® VT platforms and AMD® Virtualization (AMD-V™) platforms for hardware
assisted virtualization, XenServer delivers faster, more efficient virtualization computing. Unlike other virtualization
products that are built on closed proprietary systems, XenServer’s open APIs allow customers to access and control
advanced functions from their existing server and storage hardware.
Radically simple
Citrix establishes a new standard in ease-of-use by including new configuration wizards, intuitive interfaces and easy
point-and-click conversion of physical servers into virtual machines. Experience 10 to Xen as it only takes 10 minutes
to install and configure XenServer. XenServer gives administrators the visibility to easily keep track of virtual machines
as they proliferate across large datacenters. Web 2.0 style tagging and searching capabilities allow IT professionals to
assign metadata and virtual tags to workloads, either pre-defined or customized to each organization’s needs.
XenServer’s performance monitoring, reporting and alerting dashboards make it easy to see both real-time and historical
views of virtual machines and physical host performance over long periods of time with virtually no storage or performance
overhead.
Seriously powerful
Ready to get serious about server virtualization? Building on long list of proven enterprise-class features such as
live migration, resource pooling and workload provisioning, the newest version of XenServer adds more than 100 new
virtualization enhancements including advances in high availability (HA) and disaster recovery. These capabilities
include the industry’s most advanced HA, auto-restart and failover technologies that can be seamlessly upgraded to
full fault tolerance for the most mission-critical applications.
