The Power of End-to-End Virtualization
Providing unprecedented agility for IT
Virtualization has rapidly become one of the hottest technologies on the market, promising to transform the landscape of the entire computing industry. The primary reason virtualization has grown so rapidly in popularity is the unprecedented agility it provides for IT. By separating the physical from the logical, virtualization frees computing resources from their previous hard-coded linkages, allowing them to be assembled and managed in the most efficient way possible.
Virtualization is a core enabler of application delivery because it allows the components of computing to be dynamically coupled and reassembled on the fly to ensure the best delivery experience, regardless of how often the variables on the user or application side of the equation change. Without this capability, IT generally ends up massively over-provisioning, buying too much bandwidth, adding too many servers and refreshing PCs on an increasingly short life cycle just to keep up with growing application requirements.
End-to-End Virtualization with Citrix Delivery Center
With the end-to-end virtualization of the Citrix Delivery Center, IT can control applications, desktops and the server infrastructure that supports them from the datacenter. Orchestrating and reassembling the building blocks of application delivery infrastructure enables dramatic improvements in IT responsiveness, IT economics and the promise of IT becoming a competitive advantage.
The Citrix Delivery Center offers the broadest and best virtualization solutions for application delivery. Each member of the Citrix Delivery Center product family offer tremendous value alone, but are designed to bring even more value when used together in a complete application delivery solution:
- Server Virtualization – with Citrix XenServer – is the simplest and most effective way to virtualize servers and deliver server workloads on-demand to both virtual and physical servers – enabling a truly dynamic datacenter.
- Application Virtualization – with Citrix XenApp – enables Windows applications to be provisioned one time in the datacenter, and with server-side app virtualization, execute on servers with just the user interface delivered to users; or using client-side app virtualization, streamed to users PCs, and executed in a protected virtualization environment, preventing software conflicts and allowing the applications to be used even when not connected to the network.
- Desktop Virtualization – with Citrix XenDesktop – the most complete solutions for delivering virtual desktops to office workers – including Xen virtual infrastructure, high performance delivery protocols and controllers and virtual image provisioning that offer far better economics, ease-of-use and end user performance than has ever been possible in the past.
The real virtualization revolution lies ahead – enabling IT to connect users and applications in a way that propels the business. Let CentriServ and Citrix help you unlock the power of virtualization.
