Citrix to Ship on Dell Servers

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, today announced the availability of Citrix XenServer software factory integrated on Dell PowerEdge™ servers. Building on the announcement made on October 23, 2007, Citrix and Dell Inc. have partnered to make integrated server virtualization technology a reality for customers of all sizes. The initial products now available to Dell customers worldwide include the Citrix XenServer Dell Express Edition and Citrix XenServer Dell Enterprise Edition as part of factory-integrated solutions designed to make it even easier for customers to begin implementing their virtualization strategies. The Citrix XenServer Dell products are the only virtualization solutions to feature integrated Dell management agent technology. As a result, customers can use the same familiar Dell OpenManage System Management software on their existing Dell servers to help increase server and storage utilization. By coupling Citrix XenServer with Dell’s PowerEdge servers, the companies bring built-in, easy-to-use virtual machine installation and management to millions of Dell customers worldwide.

“We already use Citrix XenApp for application virtualization, so selecting Citrix XenServer for server virtualization was a great choice because it simplified our end-to-end virtualization strategy from the datacenter to the desktop,” said Scott Stanaland, Network Administrator, C.C. Dickson Company. “XenServer integrated with Dell servers is a win-win because now it is even easier. And it is a great value-add to have a single management console for our virtualization needs.”
