Datacenter automation with XenServer

With Citrix XenServer, organizations can automate key IT processes to improve service delivery and business continuity for virtual environments resulting in both time and money savings while providing more responsive IT services.

Site Recovery

Provides site-to-site disaster recovery planning and services for virtual environments. Site recovery is easy to set up, fast to recover, and has the ability to frequently test to ensure disaster recovery plans remain valid.

Dynamic Workload Balancing

Improves system utilization and increases application performance by automatically balancing two virtual machines within a resource pool. Workload balancing intelligently places VMs on the most suitable host in the resource pool by matching application requirements to available hardware resources.

High Availability

Automatically restarts virtual machines if a failure occurs at the VM, hypervisor, or server level. The auto restart capability allows users to protect all virtualized applications and bring higher levels of availability to the business.

Host Power Management

Takes advantage of embedded hardware features to lower datacenter electricity consumption by dynamically consolidating VMs on fewer systems and then powering off underutilized servers as demand for services fluctuates.

Automated VM Protection and Recovery

Utilizing an easy set-up wizard, administrators can create snapshot and archival policies. Regularly scheduled snapshots help to protect against data loss in case of a VM failure. The policies established are based on snapshot type, frequency, amount of historical data that is retained, and an archive location. Recovering a VM is completed by simply choosing the last good known archive.

Memory Optimization

Reduces costs and improves application performance and protection by sharing unused server memory between VMs on the host server.

Storage XenMotion 

Move live running virtual machines and their associated virtual disk image within and across resource pools leveraging local and shared storage. This enables users to move a VM and its VDI from a development to production environment, move between tiers of storage when a VM is limited by storage capacity, and perform maintenance and upgrades with zero downtime.
