Frequent updates

With XenServer 8.4, new features and bug fixes are pushed to a content delivery network (CDN) as available updates for your XenServer hosts, allowing you to benefit from a more efficient and quicker release process.

Use XenCenter to synchronize with the CDN and to view and install fixes and updates on your hosts.

If your XenServer pool has no connection to the internet, you can download the update bundles here.

Note: XenServer 8.4 was formerly labelled XenServer 8. If you have previously installed XenServer from an ISO on this page, you do not need to reinstall or reupgrade your hosts.
