Business Wire
Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) today announced it has been
positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant of the
“Magic Quadrant for x86 Server Virtualization Infrastructure.”1
“Citrix XenServer has gained tremendous traction in the last
year, beginning with the introduction of the enormously popular
free edition,” said N. Louis Shipley, Group VP and GM, XenServer
Product Group, Citrix. “That alone prompted more than 45,000
enterprise datacenters and cloud vendors worldwide - including 45
percent of the Fortune 500 - to activate XenServer for production.
In addition, our Advanced, Enterprise and Premium editions are
continuing to deliver on that value by providing all of the server
virtualization and private cloud capabilities customers require at
a fraction of the cost. And cloud providers are realizing the
value, as well – Rackspace, the second largest cloud vendor in the
world, just standardized their next-generation cloud strategy on
XenServer2. The richness and value of the XenServer portfolio is
increasingly driving very demanding and technically savvy
organizations to standardize on XenServer.”
