Citrix XenServer is an enterprise-class virtualisation platform that delivers the critical features of live migration and multi-server management at zero cost.
In order to get the best out of XenServer, we recommend that you also take advantage of the additional management and automation features Citrix Essentials provides, helping you transform your data centre into a proactive and automated delivery centre.
Citrix Essentials for XenServer (also for Microsoft Hyper-V) delivers;
- Seamless Storage Integration: Giving you access to the advanced data and storage management features, found in today’s modern storage systems, directly to your virtualised environment.
- Dynamic Workload Management: Delivers granular visibility of real-time system performance and intelligently places virtual workloads across your virtual infrastructure to ensure optimal utilisation and performance.
- Automated Lifecycle Management: Reduces the complexity, time and cost of maintaining and delivering applications in your production and test environments.
- Dynamic provisioning services: Provides on-demand deployment of workloads to a virtual machine or physical server, automatically delivered from a single gold image.
- Workflow orchestration: Allows you to simplify and automate key management processes.
- High availability: Delivers the functionality you need to intelligently place and automatically re-start virtual machines in the event of a guest system or physical server failure.
As well as designing and implementing solutions based on XenServer, we also monitor and pro-actively manage virtualised server environments on behalf of our customers. This approach helps to ensure that they continue to receive the long term benefits that virtualisation can deliver; reduces the need to invest in specific XenServer skills in-house; and enables their IT teams to focus on strategic developments rather than day-to-day system management.
