Bengaluru : Citrix
Systems in collaboration with strategic partners HP and Intel reinforced its
commitment to help customers achieve business benefits from server
virtualization solutions through Citrix XenServer. Integrated into Intel-based
HP ProLiant servers, Citrix XenServer enables businesses of all sizes to lower
costs, improve productivity and better allocate resources across their server
environments.
Sharing a common vision,
Citrix and HP have been collaborating since 1996 to enable customers to
implement and manage a virtualized environment with ease and efficiency. Both
companies work together to provide customers with joint engineering solutions,
supported by a dedicated HP team cooperating with Citrix sales, operations,
marketing, consulting, integration services and technical development.
"Despite the tremendous
business benefits that virtualization offers, industry estimates show that fewer
than 15 percent of all servers are virtualized. Our partnership with industry
leaders such as HP and Intel reflects our commitment to create greater awareness
of the benefits of end-to-end virtualization technology," said Nabeel Youakim,
VP-Marketing Pacific region, Citrix Systems. "With over 50 percent of all
Citrix installations running on HP servers, it is a great testament of our
synergistic partnership," he added.
"With Citrix and Intel, HP is
broadening its reach to customers who appreciate the ability to integrate
BladeSystem and ProLiant servers with Citrix XenServer and our ProLiant Virtual
Console. With XenServer, HP expects our joint value to increase for customers
looking to further accelerate their business growth," said Aman Dokania,
Director and GM-Infrastructure Software, HP Asia Pacific and Japan.
The strategic partnerships of
Citrix with HP and Intel have resulted in the creation of two virtualization
packages that help to increase server and storage utilization in a consolidated
server environment. With these tools, customers can provision new virtual
servers and storage in a matter of minutes versus hours or days to provision
physical servers and storage, and dynamically allocate virtual machines (VMs)
between different types of systems to suit their business requirements.
The Citrix XenServer HP Select
Edition, part of the HP ProLiant iVirtualization offering, allows for faster
implementation, ease-of use for HP ProLiant customers utilizing XenServer, and
leveraged investments in HP management tools such as HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)
for remote server management. By tightly integrating XenServer into ProLiant
platforms, Citrix and HP provide a simpler deployment and management environment
that speeds adoption of flexible, cost-saving server virtualization technology.
