Citrix starts to market Ardence
Back in January 2007 Citrix acquired Ardence, a disk streaming technology. A lot of people wondered how Citrix would position this new acquired technolgy. Those questions have now been answered because Citrix recently announced the release of the new Citrix Provisioning Server solution at the Gartner IT Expo in Orlando, Fla. Citrix Provisioning Server is based on “…the innovative OS-streaming technology acquired in its January purchase of Ardence, Inc., Provisioning Server enables IT organizations to dynamically stream datacenter and desktop operating systems and workloads to both virtual and physical machines from a central location. The new solution enables more agile and cost-effective delivery of applications and desktops, and provides an ideal complement to the company’s recently announced acquisition of virtual infrastructure vendor XenSource.”
Citrix has already started to strike up deals with hardware vendors to include Provisioning Server and XenSource.
