Meet today's enterprise IT data center challenges
Citrix Hypervisor is a virtualization platform for managing virtual cloud, server and desktop infrastructures. The consolidation and containment of workloads in Hypervisor allows organizations of any sector or size to transform their IT infrastructures. Hypervisor has built-in enterprise-class features to easily address different types of workloads, mixed operating systems, and storage in network configurations. For the most demanding desktop and application virtualization use cases, their scalability and performance can handle larger Citrix Virtual Apps or Citrix Virtual Desktop deployments. Unique Hypervisor features, such as enhanced virtualized graphics with NVIDIA and Intel, and enhanced workload security with Direct Inspect APIs, help reduce virtual infrastructure costs and complexity.
Consolidate and contain data center servers
Hypervisor allows IT to consolidate and contain a significant number of center servers of data. This increases the overall utilization of existing hardware resources while reducing the total cost of ownership of the infrastructure. Administrators can maximize efficiencies in their infrastructure by eliminating planned outages and minimizing unplanned ones. Complete server consolidation and containment with Hypervisor also enables significant performance and capacity gains across CPU cores, host RAM, VM RAM, and virtual disks per VM, as well as integration with Microsoft Windows Update Services for automatic Windows VM driver updates.
Deliver high-performance 3D graphics
Hypervisor is the leading hypervisor and offers support for high-performance enhanced 3D graphics, with the widest variety of virtualized GPU and GPU passthrough vendor options. Only Hypervisor includes support for Intel Virtual Graphics Technology (GVT-g), a GPU embedded in the CPU with no additional hardware required to facilitate graphics-enhanced workloads.
Support for Hypervisor with NVIDIA GRID vGPU has been extended for Linux desktops and graphical applications. With the latest NVIDIA GRID Maxwell-gen hardware integration, an increase in vGPU sessions per host is enabled, now up to 128.
