What is server virtualization?
Server virtualization is a proven technology that enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server. Each virtual machine is completely isolated from other virtual machines and is decoupled from the underlying host by a thin layer of software known as a hypervisor. This allows each virtual machine to run different operating systems and applications. Because the machines have been decoupled from the underlying host, the guest can also be moved from one physical server host to another while running; this is known as live migration. These attributes are transforming how organizations approach virtual computing

Ensures server performance
XenServer optimizes the location of server workloads to improve performance and utilization while increasing server readiness within resource pools. This ensures that application requirements and expected performance levels are always met and enables organizations to accelerate the speed of delivering new applications into production.
Minimizes server downtime
XenServer eliminates the need for planned downtime, reduces the impact of failures, and protects against disasters, creating an always available virtual infrastructure. Server and application upgrades can be performed during normal business hours. This reduces impact to user productivity, saves money, and gives IT staff their nights and weekends back.
