WEBWIRE

Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation today announced a technology partnership with Citrix, the global leader in application delivery infrastructure. As part of the agreement, Citrix will provide support for Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition running on the Fujitsu PRIMERGY(R) RX300 S3 server, and the two companies will collaborate on future products. Citrix has also certified the PRIMERGY RX300 S3 Server for XenServer Enterprise Edition.

Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition runs in Linux(R) and Windows(R) environments, making high-performance server virtualization affordable and easy-to implement for every business. By virtualizing their data centers, organizations can increase server utilization, lower IT hardware costs, and improve operational agility. With XenServer Enterprise running on the PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server, customers can confidently use server virtualization to cost-effectively scale their infrastructure with greater flexibility and reliability, and with the assurance of 100 percent compatibility with XenServer technology.

“With its reputation for mainframe reliability and outstanding customer support, Fujitsu is an excellent platform for deploying XenServer solutions,” said Frank Artale, vice president of business development, Citrix Systems, Inc. “This partnership will help our joint customers more rapidly obtain the management and agility benefits of server virtualization and control the costs of scaling their infrastructures.”

“As a leader in bringing virtualization solutions to market, Fujitsu is continually looking for new ways to ensure our customers have the ability to choose a virtualization technology that meets their specific needs,” said Richard McCormack, senior vice president of marketing for Fujitsu Computer Systems. “A technology partnership with Citrix provides Fujitsu customers with access to a highly reliable, industry-leading virtualization platform, while companies first looking to implement virtualization now have a powerful, fully tested combination of Citrix XenServer software and Fujitsu hardware to turn to.”
