PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–XenSource, Inc., the leader of the open source Xenâ„¢ virtualization project and a provider of enterprise virtualization solutions, today announced that Buyken Metal Products, a leading metal products manufacturer, has deployed XenEnterprise to help rebuild their data center infrastructure and provide business continuity. Since deployment, server provisioning and management have become significantly easier and server downtimes that once slowed company operations have been eliminated.

“XenSource is a powerful virtualization tool for businesses,” said Scott Gorcester, president of Moose Logic, a Seattle-based IT consultancy that helped Buyken design and deploy the new data center. “It’s an excellent enterprise-ready choice for companies looking to benefit from virtualization but looking for an easy product to use.”

Buyken wanted a virtualization solution that was priced right and provided the features needed to keep their business moving. Although Moose Logic had worked with VMware before, Buyken decided XenSource was a better fit because of its ability to run Windows using paravirtualization, a method of virtualization that provides greater security and reduced overhead.

Stories like these are great, not only do they show how the technology (XenSource) can be used, it also shows how virtualization as a concept can be a real business enabler, that using the technology to meet the business need and be more efficient in the way we achieve this, most importantly real world examples sell the virtualization message which has to be a good thing, and in this case it’s showing a metal products manufacturer (not a bank/multinational) benefiting from the technology.
