Citrix Systems has unveiledCitrix XenServer 4.1andCitrix XenServer Platinum Edition, the
first new releases to its servervirtualisationproduct line since
completing the acquisition of XenSource last quarter.
XenServer is targeted at the needs for both virtual and physical
servers. With fewer than 15% of all corporate servers expected to
be virtualised by 2012, the ability to dynamically provision
virtual application workloads across servers in the datacentre
provides an advantage for XenServer customers, said Citrix.
The XenServer release also adds more than 50 new enhancements,
improving the product's ease of use, performance and increasing
support for enterprise storage systems, Citrix said.
In addition, XenServer adds optimisation for Citrix XenApp (the
new name for the Citrix Presentation Server), ensuring customers a
scalable, high-performance system for Windows application delivery
running in a virtualised environment, said the supplier.
