Citrix purchased Sanbolic today, a company that provides virtual #storage optimization services, filling in a missing piece in its #virtualization product portfolio with the acquisition.
It’s worth noting that Sanbolic plays nicely with Citrix desktop virtualization technology and considered Citrix a strong partner before the agreement, so the deal makes sense in that context.
The company did not provide a purchase price.
Sanbolic brings a unique set of capabilities to Citrix including the ability to create software-defined pools of storage and distribute the storage in the most efficient manner across a network, even in cases where the nodes are widely geographically disbursed.
