| Source: Leostream
WALTHAM, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 5, 2007 -- Leostream Corp. (www.leostream.com), a leading
provider of Virtual Hosted Desktop software and physical-to-virtual
conversion tools, today announced that its virtualization management tools
will support the XenServer™ product family from XenSource, Inc., the
leader in infrastructure virtualization solutions based on the open source
Xen™ hypervisor. A hypervisor comprises the core of virtualization,
enabling multiple operating systems to share a single computer system.
"Ten minutes to Xen, ten minutes to Leostream," said David Crosbie,
Leostream CTO and founder. "The combined, low cost, solution is very quick
to setup, and easy to use."
Reg Simon, network systems administrator for IT services company Campana
Systems Inc., of Waterloo, Ontario, used the Leostream P > V conversion
tool to virtualize a web server with XenEnterprise, XenSource's flagship
virtualization product.
"It just worked," said Simon. "We followed the steps laid out by the
wizard. No need to run fancy scripts. We were truly surprised by how well
it worked and how easy the physical to virtual conversion ran. It's rare to
experience an IT process that works as advertised. We plan to virtualize
all our web servers and to eventually consolidate 10-12 boxes into virtual
machines. Leostream stunned us with its pain-free performance."
"We are pleased to be supported by the Leostream virtualization management
tools, and believe this will provide enterprises an opportunity to benefit
from the performance benefits and decrease in IT costs and overhead
associated with virtualization for server consolidation projects," said
Benn Schreiber, director of business development at XenSource.
The XenSource product family includes XenEnterprise™, the leading
enterprise-grade multi-OS platform virtualization solution, XenServer™
for high performance Windows virtualization and XenExpress™, a free,
production-ready product for anyone interested in getting started with
virtualization.
