Express Data people happy at XenSource's acquisition

"Since the announcement we have seen one additional major national partner commit to becoming XenSource certified, and have experienced an upturn in requests for information, training and products.”

Kelly said that the news for Express Data resellers is very good and the distributor now has national coverage in terms of XenSource certified partners. All these resellers have been skilled up by Express Data’s technical staff.

“We are now positioned as the only distributor with the right skills to help enable partners to take advantage of these powerful solutions,” said Kelly.

“We have already seen a very quick, exponential increase in XenSource sales in Australia and New Zealand and what is good for our resellers to know is it is business as usual - we will continue to work with XenSource and Citrix to help them make the most of the opportunities ever present in the market.”

Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
