Optimize XenApp and XenDesktop Experience
XenServer is a comprehensive server virtualization platform with built-in enterprise-class features that can easily handle different workload types, hybrid operating systems, and storage or network configurations. For the most demanding applications and desktop virtualization use cases, its industry-leading scalability and load performance can meet the maximumXenApp or XenDesktopRequirements for deployment. IT will benefit from XenServer unique features, such as NVIDIA and Intel's enhanced virtualized graphics, and Direct Inspect API's enhanced workload security, all of which will reduce the cost and complexity of the virtual infrastructure. XenApp and XenDesktop license holders can directly apply these product licenses to the XenServer infrastructure through the license server; No separate or specific XenServer license is required.
consolidation and inclusion of data center servers
XenServer allows IT to consolidate and include a large number of data center servers. This will increase the overall utilization of existing hardware resources while reducing the total cost of ownership of the infrastructure. Administrators can maximize the efficiency of the infrastructure, eliminate planned interruptions and minimize unplanned interruptions. The integration and inclusion of XenServer integrated servers can also greatly improve the performance and capacity of CPU core, host RAM, VM RAM and virtual disk per VM, and integrate with Microsoft Windows Update Services to realize automatic Windows of VM driver updates.

provides high-performance 3D graphics
XenServer 7 is a leading hypervisor that provides high-performance enhanced 3D graphics support and has the widest range of GPU pass-through and virtualization GPU vendor options. Only XenServer includes support for Intel's Virtual Graphics Technology (GVT-g), which is a CPU-embedded GPU that promotes enhanced graphics workloads without additional hardware.
XenServer support for NVIDIA GRID vGPU has been extended to Linux graphics applications and desktops. By integrating the latest NVIDIA GRID Maxwell-gen hardware, the number of vGPU sessions per host has been increased to 128.
View XenServer 7 New Features
"From the new XenServer 7, the first thing I noticed is that all aspects are still very familiar. Some new features that excite me include
offline storage migration, XenServer Health Check, and automatically XenServer VM drivers through Update-Windows
and the ability to access more than 128GB of virtual machine RAM. We like XenServer, it makes some of our hosts
alreadyhas been running trouble-free for more than 400 days."

how to deploy XenServer?
use XenApp or XenDesktop on-premise XenServer
deploying XenServer in your own environment is a simple process that provides centralized management for your data center. You can work with Citrix partners to use Citrix consulting services or receive training that can help you with XenServer deployment.
Deploy Applications on XenServer 7
Citrix Lifecycle Manager (CLM) realizes the lifecycle workflow of multi-tier application deployment, management and dismantling through blueprint, and its architecture can be tightly integrated with XenServer infrastructure.
CLM blueprint defines a series of best practices for out-of-box deployment, configuration, and continuous management of applications, such as Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop, or third-party applications. Application blueprint deployment is provided free of charge with your XenServer license.
