SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Feb. 26, 2013 – Citrix today announced that Citrix XenServer® has been listed as a Champion in Info-Tech Research Group’s Server Virtualization Vendor Landscape. It was also recognized with the Value Award. Assessing vendors by the strength of their offering and their strategy for the enterprise, Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscapes pay tribute to the contribution of exceptional vendors in a particular category. Other Citrix products have also been recognized by Info-Tech, including Citrix XenDesktop® in the Desktop Virtualization Vendor Landscape (January 2013)  and Citrix CloudPlatform™ in the Cloud Management Vendor Landscape (November 2012). Champions are defined as offering excellent value, having a strong market presence and acting as trend setters for the industry. The Value Award is presented to the vendor with the most robust solution at a much lower cost than many of its competitors.
“Citrix’s focus on cloud is unparalleled by other vendors,” cites the report. “As a result, the company has become the go-to vendor when looking at cloud-ready solutions. Look closely at Citrix as an alternative to VMware - it offers many of the same features, but at a lower price point.”
