As industry leaders in storage and desktop virtualization, NetApp and Citrix have a global presence and have been working together on solutions for virtualized datacenters. Our collaboration has resulted in more efficient virtualization and cloud computing solutions and numerous types of joint validated reference architectures. Together, we’ve helped thousands of mutual customers improve agility and lower costs.

Virtualizing servers and desktops is the foundation of a virtual infrastructure.  Citrix XenServer is the most effective way to virtualize and provision servers, while Citrix XenDesktop simplifies virtual desktop deployment and manageability—making the datacenter more dynamic. Building on that foundation with NetApp, organizations fully realize the promise of a virtualized environment.  NetApp storage solutions complement the benefits provided by XenServer and XenDesktop:

• Save up to 50 percent on storage power, cooling, and space and lower overall datacenter costs using thin provisioning and Snapshot copies
• Bring products, services and projects to market faster with instant storage provisioning
• Frequently back up and instantly restore your data
