Citrix XenServer

In the new era of Green IT and striving for consolidation nothing is so apparent and obvious as the actual concept behind those ideas — virtualisation.  This is however exactly the point where clarity starts fading away.  Instead, questions such as How to virtualise? and What to virtualise? bubble up tarnishing the good image.

Besides classical virtualisation methods, commonly used at user-level (which per se explains their limitation), the so called Bare Metal Hypervisors constitute the new enterprise-level standard paving the way for professional virtualisation that first of all aims for performance:

When it comes to answering the question How to virtualise?, Citrix and we from the Steen Harbach Ltd rely on a solution that has evolved from the joint work of numerous software developers from all over the world: Xen.  According to the saying “Two heads are better than one”, prominent vendors such as Sun Microsystems, HP and IBM currently take active part in this project.  Even Intel and AMD have meanwhile started building Xen-fitted processors which for example considerably boost virtualised Microsoft products.  Citrix eventually optimises the quintessence of Xen with respect to its own products such as XenApp and adds enterprise features to it forming it to what is known as XenServer.

So, make your own choice and decide in favour of a solution that makes a lot of questions superfluous.  Save power, hardware and space, alleviate your management and installation tasks, consolidate your entire IT or simply invest in a new technology remarkable for its unique stability and performance.  Last but not least, optimise your financial circumstances: you can now obtain your own personal copy of XenServer for free and we will do the rest for you.

Do not hesitate to ask us — we will be more than glad to work out a proper consolidation concept for your environment, successfully implementing it afterwards.
