Hey folks, Today Citrix made the beta for XenServer 5.5 available through www.mycitrix.com. The Beta involves several new features and taken from the release notes i will try to share a few of my experiences with the beta. I had a chance to look at the previous Beta and thats where i have my personal [...]
A lot of stuff is going on with the announcement that XenServer is now free… or the free version delivers a lot more functionality anyway than the free hypervisors have been doing so far. I hope we will see VMware joining in and giving us more of their management tools for free as well. To [...]
Oh boy have i been busy lately, hopefully i will have a bit more time in the coming weeks, one of the things i regret was being unable to attend the Geek Speak Virtual on Project Virtual Reality Check which i mentioned earlier. Citrix Hosted an unfiltered discussion with two renowned CTPs, Jeroen van de [...]
For a while there i actually thought Provisioning Server was going to be too expensive for massive deployment, a strong tool only meant for the large organisations. However with the new releases and updates it seems the strategy has changed to target a wider deployment. So where is the Provisioning Services being included in existing [...]
Even though i am a bit slow as i was away on holiday i wanted to let you know that the Virtual Reality Check performed by PQR and Log-in Consultants as a joined venture has been released! The Virtual Reality Check is a great performance baseline giving the community the option to compare Citrix XenServer, [...]
Hey folks, i have been working on a way to gather some of the important information from the vendors Citrix and VMware.

So as i was looking over the Technotes available at Citrix i found that i was missing just a complete list to get a quick overview so i gathered the ressources i could find on the Citrix Support site here in a blog post. Be aware it will not automatically check for new additions so [...]
So i have been working with XenServer for a bit now in my home lab, and i am really liking it so far. I am not saying a VMware ESX 3.5 would not have done the same job, but i like the fact that XenServer is now a competitor when it comes to delivering an [...]
So i find myself looking more deeply into XenServer and all its splendor, and i like the product i really do, but as i browse away on the great Inter-Web i find myself coming across a site called www.Xenserver5.com knowing that this is the homebase of information on XenServer5 i jump in and start fighting [...]
Alot of people are looking at virtualizing Terminal and Presentation Servers, but performance on virtualized hardware have not been what we all hoped for. I have done a small article trying to bring together the options we have to optimize the performance on these systems. Virtualization is perhaps not ready to become the new platform for [...]
