#2: Citrix
Citrix is also strong as a server virtualization contender thanks to its legacy thin-client channel base and to its acquisition a couple of years ago of the top alternative to VMware's technology, the Xen hypervisor open-source project. Just as important is Citrix's close relationship with Microsoft. Much of its server virtualization technology works either as stand-alone products, or as add-ons to Microsoft's Hyper-V, offering channel partners a choice of how to work with Citrix.
