Citrix drops price of hypervisor to zero
Citrix on Monday is making its core virtualization platform free, and announcing an enhanced partnership with Microsoft to promote interoperability between Citrix’s XenServer hypervisor and Microsoft’s Hyper-V software.
The XenServer enterprise edition, which previously cost $3,000 per server, will now be given away free and embedded in Citrix’s XenApp application delivery software, according to Simon Crosby, CTO of Citrix’s virtualization division.
The goal is to “bring the simplicity, scale and economics of the cloud to enterprise data centers for free,” Crosby says.
IBM and Juniper join in cloud strategy
IBM and Juniper provided a preview at technology that lets enterprise IT managers easily reallocate computing resources between a private and a public cloud.
Using cloud management software IBM Tivoli and a Juniper network, the companies demonstrated a drag-and-drop interface for managing a hybrid cloud infrastructure. The console displayed virtual machines like small boxes with specific color, to show whether they were being used and what for. Identifying one application as less critical than another, he dragged several boxes from the private cloud to a public one. Then, with computing resources freed up on the private cloud, he allocated the empty boxes to the more critical function in order to meet the IT department’s service-level agreement for it.
