HP Advanced Services zl Module with Citrix XenServer Platform
On Oct. 5, 2011, HP announced the availability of the HP Advanced Services zl Module with Citrix XenServer. The HP Advanced Services zl Module with Citrix XenServer is an industry-standard open architecture virtualized platform. Free XenServer ships pre-installed as part of this solution on HP 5400zl or8200zl series switches.
This integrated solution provides the capability to host one or more applications within the networking infrastructure, such as Citrix Access Gateway VPX, Netscaler VPX and Branch Repeater VPX to address Branch Office solution needs. Any virtualized application that runs on Free XenServer can be support. In addition you can upgrade to premium editions like XenServer Advanced, Enterprise, and Platinum that allow customers to extend ZL module memory resources, define VM level network policies and add monitoring capabilities.
The solution is a specialized plug-in module to a zl switch based chassis. The plug-in module has its own processor, storage, network interfaces, and memory all interconnected with a network switch ASIC on a single platform. This platform hosts a virtualized environment, helping to ensure maximum switching and multi-application performance while reducing physical footprint, lower power consumption, and consolidating management.
The HP Advanced Services zl Module with Citrix XenServer is available through all HP Networking authorized partners beginning October 11, 2011.
