Dell has recently announced it will integrate XenServer as the hypervisor for their PowerEdge line of servers. I have gathered some more information on how this will actually work out...



Dell factory will integrate Citrix XenServer into Dell PowerEdge platforms, Citrix and Dell provide a simpler deployment and management environment that speeds adoption of flexible, cost-saving server virtualization technology, making it the optimal choice for virtualization on Dell systems.  

Highlights include:

• Quick Start-up - An embedded hypervisor and intuitive interface into Citrix XenServer Dell products ensure easy installation.
• OpenManage Integration - The only virtualization solution integrated with Dell OpenManage, Citrix XenServer management console allows users to monitor and manage physical and virtual machines from a single console, with simple drag and drop controls.
• High performance - With a thin layer of code, true 64-bit hypervisor architecture and full use of hardware virtualization optimization from Intel and AMD, Citrix.
