DataCore delivers a cost-effective storage infrastructure for Citrix Virtual Servers and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) by avoiding the need to "rip and replace" existing storage and SANs, thereby avoiding large, upfront capital expenses and greatly reducing ongoing operational costs. "For more than two decades, Citrix Systems has been deploying virtualization solutions. This experience pays off; with our continuous advancements in desktop and server virtualization, we are making this technology accessible to a broad customer base," says Jens Luebben, Managing Director Germany and Area Vice President Central Europe at Citrix Systems Inc. "After having successfully launched Citrix Technology Alliance last year, we continue to work joint projects with DataCore that have been proven in practice. Together with storage virtualization partners like DataCore, we want to use Citrix Synergy 2010 to respond to the most pressing questions about virtualization."
