Gluster Virtual Storage Appliance for Xen can be deployed on almost any commodity compute and storage hardware supported by the Xen hypervisor, treating both application data and virtual machine images as files and folders.

"We are passionate and dedicated to providing next-generation storage solutions that advance cloud computing adoption, and we are thrilled to be recognized by Citrix for our efforts to help IT overcome the challenges that are a natural result of transitioning from traditional computing methods to the modern model."
