VMware Launches New Pricing for VMware GSX Server

Mware, Inc. (www.vmware.com) announced aggressive new pricing of VMware GSX Server, its award-winning enterprise-class virtual infrastructure, effective immediately.

"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.

VMware GSX Server for both Windows and Linux host operating systems is $1,400 for a 2-CPU license and $2,800 for an unlimited license that supports systems with up to 32 CPUs.

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.

This, along with our 200% year-over-year growth, is making it possible for us to more aggressively price GSX Server," said Michael Mullany, Vice President of Marketing at VMware.

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.

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.
