Business Value of Client Virtualization



announcing new products


 




Convergence is now a mega-trend, and a good predictor of tomorrow's business infrastructures. Infrastructure convergence breaks down manual processes and technology silos and brings together IT resources into adaptive pools of assets that can be shared by many applications and managed as a service. An optimum Converged Infrastructure delivers a data center that matches the supply of IT resources with the demand for business applications.

HP is aggressively converging the industry's leading infrastructure portfolio and expertise across IT systems, management tools, and facilities into a simplified architecture and common tool set. HP Converged Infrastructure extends the benefits of virtualization by providing a new way of delivering the resources of the data center. Built on the principles of simplicity, interoperability, automation, and integration, a converged infrastructure helps enterprises transform silos of capacity into flexible pools of interoperable resources. These resource pools adjust to rapid changes in workload and business requirements, dynamically changing service levels as necessary.

Together, HP and Citrix have been providing customers with virtualization solutions - from the datacenter to the desktop - that help converge customers' infrastructures and reduce costs while helping customers accelerate the growth of their business. The alliance includes close technical collaboration which combines HP's hardware and software portfolios with Citrix's application, server and desktop virtualization products into comprehensive solutions.

Citrix XenServer

Citrix XenServer is an enterprise-ready virtualization platform that contains all the capabilities required to create and manage a virtual infrastructure and deliver cost-effective server consolidation and business continuity. It reduces datacenter costs by transforming static and complex datacenter environments into more dynamic, easy to manage "delivery centers" by including features such as live migration, shared storage support, centralized multi-node management and resource pooling.

HP ProLiant servers integrate industry-leading virtualization technology into the ProLiant platform, delivering the best server virtualization experience. HP ProLiant servers are designed to provide reliability, expandability and manageability for your virtual environments. Together, HP and Citrix certify Citrix XenServer on the HP ProLiant platforms including Tower, Rack and BladeSystem servers. To see the list of supported servers, please see the Citrix XenServer Support Matrix.

Citrix XenApp

Citrix XenApp running on HP infrastructure is an end-to-end, virtualization-ready solution that delivers applications on-demand.

This approach builds in security and promotes centralized management and maintenance-leading to streamlined operations and significantly reduced costs enterprise-wide. Available as a single solution or bundled with Citrix XenDesktop-Citrix XenApp is a critical component of the HP Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution providing an on-demand application delivery solution from HP and Citrix. When used with Citrix XenDesktop, the combined solution enables unified management of both physical and virtual infrastructures from a common console.
