As part of the agreement, Citrix will provide support for Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition running on the Fujitsu Primerg RX300 S3 server, and the two companies will collaborate on future products. Citrix has also certified the Primerg RX300 S3 Server for XenServer Enterprise Edition.

Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition runs in Linux and Windows environments, making high-performance server virtualization affordable and easy-to implement for every business. By virtualizing their data centers, organizations can increase server utilization, lower IT hardware costs, and improve operational agility. With XenServer Enterprise running on the Primerg Y RX300 S3 server, customers can confidently use server virtualization to cost-effectively scale their infrastructure with greater flexibility and reliability, and with the assurance of 100 percent compatibility with XenServer technology.

Frank Artale, vice president of business development at Citrix Systems, said: With its reputation for mainframe reliability and outstanding customer support, Fujitsu is an excellent platform for deploying XenServer solutions. This partnership will help our joint customers more rapidly obtain the management and agility benefits of server virtualization and control the costs of scaling their infrastructures.
