Introducing “Windsor”: a new xen-based virtualization architecture
Here in the XenServer R&D group I'm working on a new open-source, xen-based, virtualisation architecture (code-named "Windsor"). The goal is to exploit the awesome capabilities of the xen hypervisor to make a next-generation platform for IaaS cloud computing. Why do I love xen? Xen was originally created in the University of Cambridge Computer Lab's xenoserver project, whose goal was: to build a public infrastructure for wide-area distributed computing. This ...

ShareFile Saves the Day
Toward the end of last year, Citrix acquired ShareFile to offer a cloud-based option to securely store, sync, and share files. I was really excited about the opportunities that this acquisition provided for Citrix and joined the ShareFile team in February.

Innovation is a Team Sport: How The Citrix Startup Accelerator Champions Open Innovation with Spectacular Results

Citrix Alliance Partners Come in Force to Synergy SF 2012
While it amazes me, this is actually my SIXTH U.S. Citrix Synergy event (of course counting the show previously known as iForum). And even after I thought there’s no way to top the previous year, the amount of support we have from our alliance community still grew dramatically from 2011. Of course it helps to be in extremely hot mobility and cloud markets, with industry ...
Receiver + ShareFile + CloudGateway: Your mobile enterprise – Delivered!
Last fall, when we announced the acquisition of ShareFile, there was a ton of positive feedback around that development. It was not because everyone felt the compelling need for yet another synch and share tool. Instead, it was the recognition of the fascinating possibilities that emerged as a result of this union, as Citrix called it, “Follow-me data”. ShareFile’s powerful data sharing platform coupled with ...
