Mandriva Corporate Server 4 fulfills the vital requirements of enterprise IT managers: performance and reliability for mission-critical functions, compatibility with established industry standards, interoperability, strong and secure design, long-term maintenance, and a good return on investment.
The best virtualization technologies:
Virtualization technology is becoming increasingly vital to modern enterprise IT. It enables a more efficient use of software technology and help to reduce costs through better use of already available hardware resources.
To respond to this range of uses and offer all possible choices, Mandriva has chosen the leading virtualization components:
- Xen: allows the simultaneous execution of several Linux instances, and takes advantage of hardware acceleration for virtualization through Intel VTTM
- OpenVZ: a solution optimized for large numbers of virtual servers through very large numbers of Linux instances, without the performance penalty of full hardware virtualization
- Vmware: allows the creation of completely virtualized machines, avoiding the need to support a wide range of hardware, to replace or consolidate server groups consisting of differently specified machines.
Mandriva Corporate Server 4 is the only distribution that offers the entire technology range in its standard version, making it uniquely adapted to respond to enterprise-level requirements.
