This webinar discusses the Gluster Virtual Storage Appliance for Xen which packages GlusterFS in a virtual machine container optimized for ease of use with little to no configuration required. The Virtual Appliance seamlessly integrates with existing virtualization environments such as Citrix Xen, allowing you to deploy virtual storage the same way you deploy virtual machines. Deploy on premise to create a private cloud using any certified Xen server hardware platforms and certified storage: JBOD, DAS, or SAN.
