KBC Clearing chooses XenSource




“We follow banking restrictions which require the separation of certain services on different servers,” said Rob de Wit, IT specialist of KBC Clearing. “XenSource has made our lives much easier by allowing us to follow these regulations through the provisioning of virtual servers. We have found XenEnterprise easy to use, enabling us to create virtual machines in minutes and reduce the number of physical servers, helping to simplify our data center and allowing us to more easily manage our virtual environments.”

KBC Clearing researched other vendors before deciding to virtualize with XenSource. The company made their decision after testing both VMware ESX and XenEnterprise, and finding XenEnterprise’s performance to be superior. Since deployment in July 2006, KBC Clearing has reduced its data center to an eighth of its original physical size, and cut costs by not needing to manage and purchase additional physical servers.

“Like many other XenSource customers, KBC Clearing chose XenSource based on the high performance and ease of use of our products including XenEnterprise,” said John Bara, vice president of marketing at XenSource. “XenEnterprise enables customers to achieve the benefits of virtualization quickly, easily and dependably. We are pleased to welcome KBC Clearing to our expanding list of customers.”

Virtualization: GlassHouse hopes to cash in with its IPO!

GlassHouse Technologies Inc. on Tuesday registered to raise as much as $100 million in an initial public offering that, despite the company's financial losses, could prove a hit with investors drawn to its focus on "virtualization" technology. The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
