Citrix XenServer
SoftLayer offers Citrix XenServer™ to provide a dynamic server virtualization tool that maximizes efficiency and increases hardware utilization. Citrix XenServer allows simple and rapid deployment of virtual server machines to create a truly virtual datacenter environment. With an easy to use management portal, XenServer offers an industry leading option to provision and maintain both physical and virtual machines in the datacenter.
XenServer operates using a software layer, the Xen hypervisor, operating directly on top of the bare metal hardware. The XenServer hypervisor provides an abstraction layer to establish multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. Benefits of Citrix XenServer include:
- Increased agility through server consolidation—with less physical infrastructure XenServer decreases capital expenditures.
- Ease of deployment and integration—by provisioning machines directly on top of the physical hardware XenServer does not require a single dedicated host operating system.
- Secure and reliable—through the use of virtual firewalls and multiple data backup options XenServer offers a best-in-class solution for running mission critical operations.
