Citrix XenClient will be available soon
Citrix Synergy 2010 San Francisco is starting on Wednesday this week but Citrix Summit (partner event) and the CTP meetings have already begun. And it seems the NDA’s finally lifted for Citrix XenClient at least regarding to the latest buzz on twitter.
I’m collected most of the twitter buzz and going to give a short summary.
XenClient
- has only 70 to 80 thousand lines of code
- virtualizes USB, disk, network, graphic and more
- allows you to run multiple VMs simultaneously
- supports sleep mode
- can run as stand alone or enteprise edition (with synchronizer)
- Receiver for XenClient is a service instance (control domain) running on your XenClient for creating and access your local virtual machines
Synchronizer
- is a VM-based (for XenServer of course) management appliance for XenClient
- allows to centrally deploy virtual machines
- allows you to time bomb virtual machines and deploy security policies
- lets you backup virtual machine using full backups and delta backups
- is administrated via a web based interface
- supports local and Active Directory authentication
The best part of the news: Citrix XenClient will be available later this week.
