Citrix Essentials for XenServer Dell Edition

Any Server. Anywhere. Anytime.

Citrix Essentials™ for XenServer® Dell™ Edition virtualisation software is designed to help customers create highly scalable, manageable and agile virtual infrastructures. The solution supports IT administrators throughout the application delivery life cycle to help enable:

  • Optimised use of computing resources through intelligent workload placement
  • Rapid provisioning of new resources on demand
  • Simplification of backup and maintenance through integration with existing storage platforms

Uniquely Open

Citrix Essentials for XenServer Dell Edition is based on the open source Xen® hypervisor, which delivers near-native performance.
