VMware goes against the grain by cutting prices
Back in September, VMware announced a price hike of 10% in several countries. This price hike was in line with other vendors in the virtualization space. Now, VMware is going against the grain and actually announcing a price cut of 10%. Why the change? As it turns out, the strengthening US dollar has a bit to do with it. European vendors pay for VMware software in US dollars. So the 10% price hike in September now feels more like a 18-20% hike. This also makes VMware more competitive with Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V.
