Time to rethink traditional desktop deployment
For IT organizations, desktop management today is manual, time-consuming and expensive. Ensuring data security and regulatory compliance is complex when desktops are distributed around the globe. And business continuity is difficult to implement when users are tied to their physical PCs. For users, the longer they have to keep their PCs, the more the performance degrades as patches and app updates inevitably cause bloat. The alternative is to replace or re-image the machines, meaning disruptions and loss of productivity.
Is desktop virtualization the answer?
First-generation desktop virtualization technologies enable the centralization of desktops by creating virtual desktops in the datacenter, which makes them easier to secure and backup. However, many of the same desktop lifecycle management issues persist – IT still needs an efficient virtual desktop manager to manage, maintain and update each virtual desktop image, along with all its installed applications and user settings. In addition, many first attempts at desktop virtualization introduced new challenges – most notably, degraded user experience over networks and the high costs of networked storage needed for each user’s desktop image.
Desktop delivery – the next generation of desktop virtualization
Citrix XenDesktop offers a next-generation, user-centric desktop virtualization solution that provides a complete system for desktop delivery. XenDesktop dynamically assembles virtual desktops on-demand, providing users a new and pristine, yet personalized, desktop each time they log on – ensuring that performance never degrades. In addition, XenDesktop’s high-speed delivery protocol provides unparalleled responsiveness over any network which helps in desktop optimization. For IT organizations, XenDesktop greatly simplifies desktop lifecycle management and radically drives down cost of ownership by separating the delivery of the desktop OS, applications and user settings.
Deliver the Dynamic Datacenter
Citrix XenServer, a member of the Citrix Delivery Center product family, is the simplest and most effective way to virtualize servers and deliver dynamic data centers that are responsive to the ever-changing demands of business. Using Citrix XenServer, virtual server software companies can deploy high-performance virtual machines rapidly and easily, and manage them and their related storage and networking resources from a single easy-to-use management console.
The powerful provisioning capabilities now available in Citrix XenServer virtualization software makes it the only platform than can integrate the deployment and management of virtual and physical servers into a unified dynamic virtualized infrastructure - a flexible aggregated pool of computing and storage resources.
Unlock the Power of Server Virtualization
A thin software layer (known as the Xen hypervisor) runs directly on the hardware and provides an abstraction layer that allows each physical server to run one or more virtual servers, breaking the “hard-coding” that normally locks the operating system its applications to the underlying physical server. Each virtual server appears to users and to management software as if it were a separate physical computer, but in fact, many virtual servers may share one physical server - the density of consolidation is limited only by available resources.
XenServer’s virtualization technology is widely acknowledged as the fastest and most secure virtualization software in the industry, and is enhanced by taking full advantage of the latest Intel VT and AMD-V hardware virtualization assist capabilities.
Citrix XenServer combines the performance, security, and openness of the Xen technology with XenCenter comprehensive management - yielding a platform perfect for rapid adoption of virtualization for server consolidation, software development and test, and business continuity.
Increased Agility at Lower Cost
With Citrix XenServer virtualization software, businesses can increase server and storage utilization, reducing costs of equipment, power, cooling, and real estate. Virtualization-powered consolidation enables businesses to decommission older systems that are expensive to support and prone to failure, replacing several of them with a single newer, more supportable, less power-hungry system.
By combining servers and storage into resource pools that can be apportioned to the applications with the highest business need, IT operations can be aligned to changing demand and business priorities. With XenMotion, running virtual machines can be migrated to new servers with no service interruption, allowing essential workloads to get needed resources, enabling zero-downtime maintenance and better application virtualization.
Easy to Deploy and Integrate
Citrix XenServer is installed directly on bare metal servers, requiring no dedicated host operating system. Open command-line (CLI) and programming (API) interfaces make it easy for vendors and enterprises to integrate virtualization with existing processes and management tools. The powerful provisioning capabilities make enterprise virtualization simpler and it’s possible to deliver new servers hosting new application services in minutes, with efficient use of storage resources.
