VMware Announces Aggressive Pricing for VMware GSX Server

VMware, Inc. (www.vmware.com), the global leader in virtual infrastructure software for industry-standard systems, today announced aggressive new pricing of VMware GSX Server, its award-winning enterprise-class virtual infrastructure, effective immediately.

As the company continues its accelerated momentum and revenue growth, VMware is bringing increased affordability to VMware GSX Server. GSX Server, shipping for more than three years, is already the most proven, feature-rich hosted server virtualization product on the market, and the new price point will help customers deploy virtual infrastructure as widely as possible to improve server utilization and meet business demands.

"We're seeing phenomenal momentum in the enterprise for virtual infrastructure, including high demand for VMware GSX Server. Clearly, virtual infrastructure is fast becoming mainstream, with many thousands of VMware enterprise customers worldwide rolling out production deployments. "

Our goal is to make GSX Server even more attractive for enterprise IT since it is a popular starting point for virtual infrastructure deployments for many customers."

VMware GSX Server offers the broadest hardware compatibility and support for the widest array of Windows and Linux operating systems of any VMware server virtualization platform.

VMware GSX Server is available in two versions: GSX Server 2-CPU license for smaller servers, and GSX Server unlimited CPU license which supports systems with up to 32 CPUs. Enterprises can purchase the unlimited CPU version and run GSX Server on any size machine or purchase the 2-CPU version for smaller servers.

The result for customers is the lowest total acquisition cost for a virtualization solution in the market, without the inconvenience of paying for and tracking client access licenses and terminal services licenses.
