How XenServer helps businesses

Citrix® XenServer® consolidates server workloads, which produces savings in power, cooling, and management costs, an increased ability to adapt to ever-changing IT environments, an optimized use of existing hardware, and an improved level of IT reliability.

Cuts IT costs by 50% or more

While server consolidation is often the driving factor for server virtualization, organizations can reap rewards that extend far beyond shrinking their number of overall servers. XenServer virtualization management tools can cut server requirements by up to 10 times. The consolidation of servers in a datacenter will result in lower power consumption and management costs while producing a more green IT environment.

Increases IT flexibility

Virtualization enables datacenters to be adapted to meet constantly evolving IT requirements. As one example, XenServer creates a virtual infrastructure that integrates seamlessly with existing storage environments. This decreases the amount of time it takes for IT to respond to user needs.

Ensures server performance

XenServer optimizes the location of server workloads to improve performance and utilization while increasing server readiness within resource pools. This ensures that application requirements and expected performance levels are always met and enables organizations to accelerate the speed of delivering new applications into production.

Minimizes server downtime

XenServer eliminates the need for planned downtime, reduces the impact of failures, and protects against disasters, creating an always available virtual infrastructure. Server and application upgrades can be performed during normal business hours. This reduces impact to user productivity, saves money, and gives IT staff their nights and weekends back.
