Description

XenServer is one of the most powerful virtualization software in the world. The program has grown alongside greats such as VMWare vSphere and Hyper-V and has gained a lot of fans around the world because of its open source. All features of this program are open source and free. Many world-famous datacenters use this software for free and due to its functionality. The program is able to provide a platform for servers to share the power of a powerful system into virtual systems and provide it to users.

When you get a virtual server from your hosting you will actually get different plans provided by these virtual machines. For example, if our server has 64 GB of RAM. We can provide users with different plans by dividing the RAM between virtual servers. Like its competitors, it provides a complete admin dashboard that lets you monitor the status of your servers. See the amount of memory, processor, disk, and more. Turn each server on or off with one click. Install on them the desired operating system and many other common tasks. This product was developed by American company Citrix, which has been active in servers and computer networks, remote control systems and cloud computing as well as virtualization products.
