Okay... that sounds good.. just to be sure I understand.. I may say the same as you just wrote :-) You get Citrix Provisioning Server (Datacenter or Desktop? ) and XenServer for the price of one XenServer platinum license ($5000). And then you can use Citrix Provisioning Server to deliverer as many VM desktops/servers on the XenServer AND 3 other hardware servers? Is this official or do you know when and where I can read more about it? /Mads 2008/4/1, Steve Greenberg <steveg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > As a further clarification, what is happening is that there is no per > socket pricing at all for XEN going forward.
