Citrix aims for On-Demand, Power Plant like Dynamic Data Centers

And, on the theory that IT transformation is being driven by storage virtualization, XenServer 4.1 is supposed to tightly integrate with native storage hardware starting with the NetApp Data OnTap operating system, a unified storage platform for virtualized environments and foundation for application-empowered data management to free physical and virtual servers to run business-critical application workloads, not storage-related tasks.

That'll give NetApp users thin provisioning, cloning, replication, and backup and recovery from the XenCenter management console.

Citrix has also created what it calls Delivery Center, an overarching new product brand for its delivery infrastructure systems: XenServer, XenDesktop, NetScaler and XenApp - and their various parts - along with a tool called Workflow Studio, built on .NET, PowerShell and Windows Workflow Foundation, to orchestrate communications across multiple Citrix and third-party products via easily linked graphical objects.

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...
