In this XenServer Certification module, you will be learning about the introduction of Citrix XenServer followed by the advanced level as well. At the beginning of the course, you will get to know about the Jargons of Citrix XenServer that we will be using throughout the course. This is going to be a four hours long video tutorial where you will get an insight into how the virtualization of the VM takes place and how the resources are shared to make efficient use of it. You will also learn how Citrix is used to connect to the remote servers that could be located anywhere around the globe. This module consists of several topics that are followed by an example. One topic may contain several examples where you will be supposed to do things on your own to get the real insight into how Citrix works. You will get a chance to set up things in the same way the system administrators do.
Citrix XenServer may be defined as the platform that can be used to virtualize the servers or VMs. It is the technology that allows us to access remote servers that are located anywhere globally. Citrix XenServer facilitates resource sharing by distributing the memory, CPU, and storage to different servers. The main motive behind the implementation of this technology is to make the use of limited available resources efficiently. It helps businesses in reducing the cost of business operations by minimizing the number of resources to operate the business.
To get a clear view of the concept of Citrix XenServer, let us proceed with an example. Suppose an organization that is having its roots in the USA wants to outsource some work to a company located in India. The organizations don’t want to set their servers in India due to meet the government standard compliance, but they also want folks from India to access their server to perform the business operations. In this case, they will deploy Citrix XenServer that will let peers from India access their servers located in the USA. The interesting thing is, the organization can define how the hardware has to be distributed to the Indian organization who is working for the US-based business as a partner.
