VMware Promises to Cut Server Costs by Half
VMware has announced a new promotional program that guarantees at least 50 percent savings on server hardware.
Customers participating in the promotional program will work with the VMware Professional Services organisation to deploy VMware’s virtualization platform on existing servers using established best practices. Customers will not have to pay for the design and implementation services until at least a 50 percent savings on server hardware have been achieved.
“In today’s difficult economic climate, this new promotion shows our commitment to customers and our confidence that we can help them reduce cost with no risk,” said Bogomil Balkansky, vice president, product marketing, server business unit, VMware. “Based on our experience in thousands of customer engagements and data collected over more than three years with our Capacity Planner tool, we are confident that many customers will be able to achieve more than 50 percent savings on server hardware costs.”
