Citrix XenServer is a high performance virtualization solution designed for efficient support of Windows and Linux virtual machines. HP has tightly integrated Citrix XenServer into HP ProLiant platforms to enable fast and straightforward installation, configuration, and virtual machine management. HP Citrix XenServer can now be installed on USB Flash drive, Secure Digital (SD) card and hard drive. HP integrated Citrix XenServer combines seamless integration and active ProLiant management to ensure confident virtual deployments.
HP integrated Citrix XenServer combines the performance, security, and openness of the XenServer product line with easy-to-use HP ProLiant Virtual Console to simplify virtual deployments. Designed for new users of virtualization technology, HP ProLiant Virtual Console (PVC) provides a simple to use GUI interface for single server virtual machine management, without the need for a separate management server or even a network. PVC comes standard with all HP integrated Citrix XenServer options, allowing local virtual machine creation and management using the server's KVM keyboard/video/mouse (KVM). The virtual machine creation and management experience is greatly enhanced with the HP iLO2 Advanced Pack (sold separately), which provides a number of powerful features, including remote access of virtual machine consoles, as well as virtual media capabilities. |

Virtualization technology is a thin software layer (called a hypervisor) that runs directly on the hardware, creating an abstraction layer that allows each physical server to run multiple 'virtual servers' at the same time. The versatility that virtualization technology brings to the data center is now combined within HP ProLiant platforms to provide unprecedented simplicity and speed to virtual deployments.
HP integrated Citrix XenServer
HP Citrix XenServer can now be installed on USB Flash drive, Secure Digital (SD) card and hard drive. For specific instructions on how to access the internal port and initially set up and configure the HP ProLiant server to host virtual machines using the HP integrated Citrix XenServer see the server documentation included with the server.
HP ProLiant Virtual Console
HP ProLiant Virtual Console removes complexity from virtualization installations by offering single server virtual machine management, using the server’s KVM or optional iLO 2 Advanced Pack. HP PVC offers:
- A first time wizard based setup that guides you through initial installation and configuration of host and virtual machines in just minutes.
- GUI-based interface that provides ongoing virtual machine monitoring and management.
- A multi-screen view of virtual machine consoles installed on the server eases the management process by allowing you to view multiple virtual machine consoles at once.
- Performance monitoring lets you track both system level resources as well as resources being used by each virtual machine.
HP iLO 2 Advanced Pack (sold separately) allows you to remotely access both the physical host console as well as the virtual machine consoles installed on the server for optimum management flexibility. Use iLO2 virtual media capabilities to deploy guest OS’s to the local virtual machines.
