XenEnterprise 3.2 also delivers greater security and performance, enhanced resource management capabilities, iSCSI SAN support, and improvements in manageability and serviceability.

“Our beta test of XenEnterprise 3.2 demonstrated the benefits of virtualizing our datacenter,” stated Chris Rogers, president of ServerCave, Inc. ServerCave, a hosting provider and datacenter consulting firm located in Herndon Virginia currently includes XenEnterprise 3.2 as part of its production environment. According to Rogers, the decision to incorporate XenEnterprise 3.2 as part its customer solution stems from the ease of deployment and the attractive price point. “The use of XenEnterprise allows ServerCave to take advantage of both the efficiency and economy the software provides. We are able to maximize the usage of the server resources, and we can increase our client base without having to purchase additional hardware.”
