Storage plays a key role in determining the performance and cost of desktop virtualization deployments. XenServer, with StorageLink, offers a powerful framework for best-in-class storage systems to offer virtualization optimized features that can be directly exploited through API calls from the virtualization platform, either using CIM or vendor-proprietary plug-ins. But there are a host of features and implementation choices for storage that can dramatically change the price/performance of a virtual desktop deployment, and who better to help articulate those than the storage vendors themselves?

With this in mind, we invited all of our storage vendor partners to demonstrate to the market what makes their solutions unique, in our Citrix Ready StorageLink Challenge. We asked them to prepare a short video that showcases their product capabilities and its integration with StorageLink. Six partners responded - DataCore, GetGreenBytes, HP, LSI, NetApp, and NexantaStor. We will be picking a winner on April 19th.

Submissions will be judged in four categories.
