Xen next-generation virtualization
transtec becomes first XenSource pan European hardware partnerTübingen, 16 July, 2007 – Tübingen-based transtec AG, provider of custom-tailored hardware and IT solutions, is the first pan European hardware manufacturer of the virtualization specialist XenSource Inc. With its new XenEnterprise server line transtec is now able to offer CALLEO servers that have been pre-configured and tested for full compatibility with XenSource XenEnterprise virtualization solutions.
transtec XenEnterprise servers will strengthen the co-operation with XenSource. The virtualization specialist, who arose out the open-source Xen initiative, offers virtualization products based on Xen, a technology which was first developed as a virtual machine monitor at the University of Cambridge in the UK. Unlike first-generation virtual machines, the Xen hypervisor installs directly on the bare-metal. The absence of the OS layer makes Xen both more economical and powerful than previous virtualization techniques.
The transtec XenEnterprise server line is certified by transtec as providing full support for all XenEnterprise. Speaking of the transtec-XenSource partnership, John Glendenning, VP worldwide sales at XenSource, said, “With transtec we have found the right European partner. It has expertise in server virtualization, SANs as well as clustering. In addition, transtec has personnel who offer Xen-certified support and service.”
“The significant performance boost provided by XenSource virtualization benefits all those who demand versatile IT“, explained Holger Hennig, Vice President of the transtec Competence Center. Continuing, he said, “transtec XenEnterprise servers provide an economical yet high-performance alternative for virtualization in Linux and Windows environments.“
