XenServer 5.5.0 includes a number of new features and ongoing improvements, the most important of which are identified below:

well as through the xe CLI. For more information on this feature,
please refer to the Storage chapter and the VM Snapshots section of the Backup and recovery chapter in the XenServer Administrator's Guide.
• Active Directory integration to allow credentials to be verified
against an AD server. This allows granting and revocation of access to XenServer pools easily and securely using existing IT infrastructure. For more information on this feature, please refer to the XenServer hosts and resource pools chapter in the
XenServer Administrator's Guide.
• Workload Balancing to optimize VM placement and assist with balancing of workloads within a pool. This is done using the Workload Balancing server, available as a download with XenServer. For customers interested in creating custom queries on Workload Balancing data, Citrix provides customer accessible
SQL views. For more information, see CTX121348. For more information on this feature, please refer to the Workload Balancing chapter in the XenServer Administrator's Guide.
• Integration with StorageLink services via the xe CLI nabling advanced storage management capabilities via the Citrix StorageLink service, available as a download with XenServer. For more information on this feature, please refer to the Citrix StorageLink Gateway (CSLG) SRs section of the Storage chapter in the XenServer Administrator's Guide.
• Improved operating system support including new support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, Novell SLES 11, and Debian Lenny.
• XenCenter improvements including Folder View, allowing you to
