Cyberlink has been providing IT services for decades, helping businesses of all sizes manage their IT infrastructure without complexity or unexpected costs. Starting as a Citrix license reseller in the late ’90s, they’ve since grown into a full-scale hosting and IT solutions provider.
Today, Cyberlink focuses on delivering a fully managed, fully hosted Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering that’s tailored to each individual customer.
What makes Cyberlink stand out is their ability to offer enterprise-level infrastructure to small and mid-sized businesses. Whether you’re a startup with five employees or a company with thousands of users, they’ve got you covered. One of their biggest perks is helping businesses scale.
Instead of buying expensive equipment or hiring IT staff, companies can offload those headaches to Cyberlink. As Mason Cooper, Cyberlink’s COO, puts it: “We’re not just another vendor. We’re an extension of our clients’ businesses, giving them the flexibility to grow or shrink without being locked into long-term contracts.”
Cyberlink’s DaaS offering includes licensing, hardware, security, and support, with every application your employees need accessed via Citrix and hosted on XenServer. This means one bill and one team to call. Mason summed it up: “With us, there’s one throat to choke. We manage everything, so our clients don’t have to worry about it.”
How XenServer Powers Cyberlink’s DaaS Offering
One of the key reasons Cyberlink can deliver top-tier services at an affordable price is XenServer. Cyberlink transitioned from traditional physical servers to a virtualized environment built on XenServer back in 2010. This move has been a critical part of their success, allowing them to save money on hardware, onboard customers faster, and scale environments more efficiently—all while avoiding the high costs associated with VMware.
“We built our DaaS hosting practice on XenServer all the way back in 2010, when shifting from physical servers. It has provided us a simple and reliable platform for years, saving us roughly $1 million per year on hypervisor costs,” Mason shared.
One of the reasons Cyberlink sticks with XenServer is its simplicity. According to Joe Engelhardt, a senior engineer at Cyberlink: “XenServer just works. It’s simple to set up and easy to manage. XenServer has fewer moving parts compared to VMware, so we don’t have to deal with all the complexity you get with VMware, and it saves us—and our clients—a ton of money.”
Cyberlink’s hosting environment also leverages XenServer’s PVS Accelerator to optimize Citrix performance. These tools help speed up virtual machine provisioning and reduce the load on their infrastructure. Joe adds: “We’ve tested PVS Accelerator, and our customers noticed the difference right away. Citrix VDAs boot up faster and the user experience just runs smoother.”
While the cost savings are a huge win, XenServer’s flexibility is another key reason Cyberlink has stuck with it. “XenServer has always allowed us to say yes to our clients more often. We don’t have to worry about hidden costs or needing extra features—we can just focus on delivering what our clients need,” Mason explains.
