We just announced our enhanced alliance with Citrix as the preferred HA provider for XenServer. This is an ideal situation for Marathon and Citrix because we’re both focused on removing the complexities of virtualization -especially for mid-market companies who have been slow to dip into the pool - by offering simplified software that can be deployed rapidly and at a reasonable price.

Barry Flanagan, Citrix’ Technology Evangelist, covered this on his blog and has been a fan of ours for some time now. He had the opportunity to interview our CTO, Jerry Melnick, last year – if you’re interested the interview can be found here. We’ll be demonstrating everRun VM at Citrix’s Synergy in Houston in May and Citrix iForum Edinburgh and iForum Munich in June.

We ‘re excited about this expanded partnership and are eager to help bring virtualization and high availability to a much broader audience.
