Microsoft and Citrix XenServer

Better Together

For nearly 20 years, Citrix and Microsoft have partnered on Windows application delivery with Citrix XenApp.

Discover how interoperable virtual machine formats, powerful storage management, provisioning services and lab management deliver a enterprise-class virtualization solution for Hyper V and XenServer.

Interoperable

Citrix enables the seamless movement of virtual machines between XenServer and Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V for maximum interoperability of server workloads. Standardization on the Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) format creates a common runtime environment for virtualized servers, desktops and applications.

Microsoft Validated

XenServer was the first server virtualization platform to be validated for both AMD and Intel 32-bit and 64-bit systems through Microsoft’s Server Virtualization Validated Program. Under this program, Microsoft offers cooperative technical support to customers running Windows Server and XenServer.
