With vPro technology-enabled devices, IT managers can, forexample, troubleshoot and potentially repair a PC even if its operating systemor hard drive has been disabled. "Extending that collaboration to the client will enable our CitrixDelivery Center infrastructure to communicate directly with millions ofIntel-based devices, changing the game in desktop virtualization in a way thatbenefits customers of both companies." "This collaboration is aimed at producing a client virtualization solution thatprovides excellent capabilities in every key category from easy centralizedimage management to a rich, mobile end-user environment," said Gregory Bryant,Vice President, Intel Business Client Group, and General Manager, Digital OfficePlatform Division. "This solution also will expand on the management andsecurity capabilities of Intel vPro technology to help IT with its increasinglyimportant objective of reducing costs while providing tools for greaterproductivity." Extending Xen-based Virtualization to the ClientIn 2008, the Xen open source community established the Xen Client Initiativeproject to foster the development of a Xen-based solution for clientenvironments (see press release here). The new Xen client hypervisor resultingfrom this collaboration between Citrix and Intel will be optimized for baremetal virtualization and ideally suited for delivery as an embedded, smallfootprint component of an enterprise laptop or desktop PC, and can also beinstalled on existing client systems that already have an operating systeminstalled. The Xen hypervisor includes several key architectural advantages that make itideally suited for this project. Developed as an open standard by more than 50leading hardware, software, and security vendors, Xen was designed from theoutset to address the industrys broadest range of devices and chipsets - fromsuper computers to PDAs. As a result, its architecture is uniquely designed toensure strong isolation between VMs running on a single device, as well asallowing pass through device control directly to the client in a way thatdoesnt impact security, capabilities that are essential for virtualization onclient devices.

Enabling PC Manufacturers to Provide Built-in Client-Side VirtualizationThis collaboration between Citrix and Intel will enable PC manufacturers toinclude "built-in" client-side virtualization with new desktop and laptopcomputing systems for the first time ever. Dell plans to certify the product on its computing platforms, and has providedengineering support to aid in the design and testing of the new technology."Simplifying computing, and saving time and money for customers has always beenat the heart of our business, so we are delighted to work with Citrix and Intelto enable this new class of virtualization solutions," said Darrel Ward,Director of Commercial Desktops, Dell Product Group. "Virtualization has thepotential to dramatically streamline acquisition and management of corporatedesktops, improve TCO and ultimately allow us to offer our customers moreefficient and diverse solutions."
