Application delivery infrastructure firm, Citrix Systems' XenServer, has been chosen by managed web hosting company, INetU, for the launch of its new virtualization offering.
INetU will be managing virtual servers for clients running Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Linux. Virtualization technology offers a myriad of benefits for the clients of managed hosting including simplified server migration, backup and restoration through snapshot technology and the ability to maximize investments in hardware. INetU chose Citrix XenServer after extensive research and testing.

Dev Chanchani, President and CEO of INetU noted, ''We selected Citrix XenServer for a variety of factors. Some of those factors included strong Industry support from Microsoft and HP, along with impressive benchmarks and appealing management features. We feel strongly about the benefits virtualization brings within a managed hosting environment. Our support of virtualized environments allows our clients and prospects to start taking advantages of virtualization. For example, clients can quickly deploy additional servers to increase scalability or quickly migrate their virtualized servers to newer hardware without the hassle of reconfiguring a new server setting by setting.''

INetU includes the same in-depth and experienced level of management and support within a virtualized environment that comes with the traditional dedicated environment. INetU offers its own consultative approach to all virtualized and dedicated managed hosting clients with services such as capacity planning, system architecture consulting, trend analysis, and recommendations to help clients efficiently and successfully run their business critical web applications.
