Overview
VMware and Citrix have worked to deliver a highly reliable, interoperable and manageable server and client consolidation solution that helps remote offices and clients simplify their IT environments and reduce desktop administration tasks by centralizing application delivery. The solution encompasses Citrix MetaFrame XP application serving and management software and VMware ESX Server virtual machine software; operating on Intel-processor based systems.
VMware ESX Server gives customers a whole new way to approach 24x7 availability and server consolidation for their Citrix MetaFrame deployments - creating a more manageable environment. Optimized to run with VMware ESX Server, Citrix MetaFrame XP provides a robust infrastructure for the delivery of client applications to any device by transferring management of the local client desktop to the data center - saving customers significant time and money on application maintenance, hardware upgrades, help desk support, and training.
Citrix MetaFrame enables server-based access from any device, rapid deployment of applications, and seamless business continuity through centralized replication and ubiquitous access.
VMware is a Premier Citrix Business Alliance Member. Citrix and VMware have collaborated to support customers deploying MetaFrame XP and VMware ESX Server together.
