A friend of mine gave me a hint to read this blog post they write about the fact? that Citrix will anounce that Xenserver will be offered free as of next week. The free version will have almost all the functions a priced (US $900) xenserver now has. So is this a next strike to Vmware? and what will be Vmware there respons to this? Citrix is agrasive in marketing lately making more and more goodies available for free.
Citrix will make money by offering some services that are not included in the freeware Xenserver. I wonder what respons Vmware will make. After Citrix made available the Xenserver express edition Vmware responded by giving away ESXi server software and I wonder if Vmware will now also respond in free ESX server with payment for add-ons. |
