http://blogs.virtualizationadmin.com/conger/2007/08/15/citrix-announces-purchase-of-xensource/ Welcome to the Blog of Jason Conger. Here, we will focus on Server Based Computing environments including Microsoft Windows Terminal Services and Citrix Presentation Server, Application and Server virtualization, Application streaming and delivery technologies such as Microsoft Softricity, and many other server-centric topics. Also, I will point out tools and tips to help you with your Terminal Services environments.

One of the “major” announcements made is that Citrix has changed the named of Presentation Server to XenApp. This falls in line with Citrix’s purchase of XenSource. Ever since the purchase of XenSource, Citrix has been re-branding products with the Xen name (XenServer, XenDesktop, XenApp). This is not the first time Citrix has renamed a product. For example (a little history here): [...] […] Gus Pinto is reporting live from Citrix Solutions Summit.

In order to run Xen, you need a 64 bit server. So, testing XenSource out in a lab can be a little “sketchy” if you do not have 64 bit hardware available for testing. Luckily, a new article on TechAgility shows you how to use VMWare Workstation to host a virtual XenServer (I know that is kind of like drinking Coke out of a Pepsi glass). The article does a good job of stepping you through the process with screen shots. This is a cool way to test out Xen and XenSource in a low budget manner.

SearchITChannel.com reports, “Citrix Systems Inc. is enlisting the aid of server hardware vendors to help intensify its relatively new effort to compete explicitly in the desktop and server virtualization market, with open source virtualization as its latest weapon. Citrix will release “a couple of announcements hopefully before the end of the year” detailing which major vendors will preinstall Citrix’s XenExpress OEM Edition hypervisor on their servers, according to Matt Haynes, Citrix’s director of sales strategies, channels and field marketing. “That OEM strategy will be part of our go-to-market strategy,” he said.
