Citrix XenServer is a member of the Citrix Delivery Center product family. It is used to virtualize servers and deliver dynamic data centers. Citrix XenServer deliveres a single management console from where adminstrators can provision, manage and deploy virtual machines along with their associated storage and network resources. The Xen hypervisor - a thin software layer - runs directly on the hardware and provides an abstraction layer that allows each physical server to run one or more virtual servers. This allows XenServer to be provisioned on a bare-metal machine, without the overhead of a native operating system. XenServer is based on the Open Source Xen hypervisor - technology acquired by Citrix as part of its XenSource acquisition.   [edit]  Less
