Citrix makes XenDesktop VDI more cost effective for it’s cutomers

6. October 2009 by Tony.

Citrix’ announced today a “Trade Up” program whereby existing Citrix XenApp customers can get XenDesktop licenses at a significant discount. Also, if you trade up 100% of your XenApp licenses you’ll get two for one!

Personally I think this move is a stroke of genius. Strategically; if you already have XenApp (which most enterprises do) why would you consider any other VDI product? Couple this with the fact that XenDesktop is hypervisor agnostic and that you can even run the XenDesktop agent on physical PC’s (see http://vdiworx.com/category/pandemic/) and XenDesktop is a slam dunk!

• Trade-up all active XenApp licenses at once, get 2X the XenDesktop 4 licenses
• Trade-up your XenApp licenses, save between 50%-80% on XenDesktop 4
• Trade-up includes 12 months of Subscription Advantage on XenDesktop 4
