Any Server. Anywhere. Anytime.

Citrix® XenServer™ is server virtualization that makes datacenters more agile and efficient through faster application delivery, higher levels of availability and improved utilization of IT resources.

XenServer delivers the advanced features required by mission critical workloads without sacrificing the ease-of-use necessary for wide-scale deployments. And XenServer’s unique provisioning technology can rapidly deliver workloads across virtual or physical servers making it the ideal virtualization platform for every server in the enterprise.

Uniquely Open

XenServer is based on the open source Xen hypervisor, an exceptionally lean technology that delivers low overhead and near-native performance. Leveraging both Intel® VT platforms and AMD® Virtualization (AMD-V™) platforms for hardware assisted virtualization, XenServer delivers faster, more efficient virtualization computing.  And unlike other virtualization products that are built on closed proprietary systems, XenServer’s open APIs allow customers to access and control advanced functions from their existing server and storage hardware.

Radically Simple

Citrix has taken ease-of-use to an entirely new level by including new configuration wizards, intuitive interfaces and easy point-and-click conversion of physical servers into virtual machines.  Experience “10 to Xen” as it only takes 10 minutes to install and configure XenServer.
XenServer gives administrators the visibility to easily keep track of virtual machines as they proliferate across large datacenters.  Web 2.0 style tagging and searching capabilities allow IT professionals to assign metadata and virtual tags to workloads, either pre-defined or customized to each organization’s needs.  XenServer’s performance monitoring, reporting and alerting dashboards make it easy to see both real time and historical views of virtual machines and physical host performance over long periods of time with virtually no storage or performance overhead.

Seriously Powerful

Ready to get serious about server virtualization? Building on long list of proven enterprise-class features such as live migration, resource pooling and workload provisioning, the newest version of XenServer adds more than 100 new virtualization enhancements including advances in high availability (HA) and disaster recovery. These capabilities include the industry’s most advanced HA, auto-restart and failover technologies that can be seamlessly upgraded to full fault tolerance for the most mission-critical applications.
