Citrix announces Project “Open Door” for customers who want to switch from VMware to XenServer or Microsoft Hyper-V
In July VMware attempted to win those Virtual Iron customers left in the cold by Oracle with an aggressive discount program.
Now it seems that VMware has to defend against a similar move from Citrix, which launches today the Open Door program.
The rules are simple:
The Project Open Door promotion will be effective worldwide from October 1 – March 31, 2010. Customers who decommission five or more VMware vSphere 4 or VI3 servers and replace them with XenServer or Hyper-V plus the Citrix Essentials solution, receive the following:
- A free five incident support pack (5 by 8 hours) for every five servers converted
- A voucher for six hours of online training for every five servers converted
- Free migration tools for seamlessly transferring virtual machines from VMware to XenServer or Hyper-V
