HP offers two integrated virtualization products that combine the performance, simplicity and ease of use of Citrix XenServer with HP's ProLiant Server platforms. The two products – Citrix XenServer HP Select Edition and Citrix XenServer HP Enterprise Edition, are available as options for customers at the point of sale with ProLiant servers, and are available to current HP ProLiant customers via option kits – enabling customers to purchase an entire virtualization solution from HP.
"We have made significant efforts to ensure our customers have the leading options for deploying and managing virtualization," said Scott Farrand, vice president, Industry Standard Server Software, HP. "HP's ProLiant and BladeSystem servers with Insight Control management tools, combined with the unique architecture of Citrix XenServer, delivers a truly integrated user experience that makes virtualization feel like a seamless capability within the infrastructure."
Integrated ProLiant Virtual Console (PVC) – Simplifies Deployments
These new co-developed products are the only integrated virtualization solutions to provide a simple-to-use local graphical management console and pre-integrated HP management agent technology, providing for simpler deployments and an easy to use management environment that accelerates the adoption of this flexible, cost-saving virtualization technology.
The HP ProLiant Virtual Console allows users to power on their new HP server and start creating virtual machines in a matter of minutes, removing the complexity of deploying their virtualization solution. HP ProLiant Virtual Console provides a simple to use GUI interface to setup and manage virtual machines on individual servers.
