InformationWeek SMB: Citrix, Carpathia Launch XenServer Cloud Service

Carpathia Hosting and Citrix Systems combine to produce a cloud service running virtual machines under XenServer.


“Carpathia Hosting and Citrix Systems have combined resources to offer a XenServer-based set of cloud services, called Carpathia InstantOn.

Such services are likely to appeal to heavy users of Citrix XenServer hypervisor or Microsoft’s Hyper-V hypervisor, since both use a shared VHD virtual machine file format which would lend itself to export to a XenServer based cloud. InstantOn is one of the first cloud offerings to be based on XenServer.”
