• Best virtualisation value – Starting with the virtualisation power of the industry-leading Xen hypervisor at no cost, users can extend their server consolidation savings into capital equipment, space, power and cooling costs.
• Enterprise-class features – Centralised multi-server management and live virtual machine migration using XenMotion enables users to manage the virtualised environment easily and intelligently while optimising resource with zero-downtime to users.
• Easy setup and administration – Being easy to use is just one reason XenServer was named the Most Innovative Product of the Year for virtualisation in 2008 by VARBusiness.  XenServer can be installed and running in minutes (”10 to Xen“) and also has a unique management architecture that eliminates single points of failure.  Easily manage hundreds of virtual machines with the included XenCenter management console that installs with only 4 megabytes of storage.
