Samana Group has been providing Citrix and XenServer IT consulting and managed services since 2012. As a long-time Citrix partner, Samana specializes in simplifying IT operations and reducing costs. Over the past decade, Samana estimates they have supported over 100 XenServer projects, including numerous VMware-to-XenServer migrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been with XenServer from the start,\u201d<\/em> says Jorge Gomez, CEO. \u201cOur experience allows us to deliver seamless migrations and ongoing support for businesses of all sizes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Samana\u2019s expertise with XenServer dates back to Citrix\u2019s acquisition of the platform. Today, they lead large-scale migrations, such as helping a healthcare organization with 5,000 Citrix users migrate from VMware to XenServer. This migration is projected to save the customer $588,000 in the first year alone, with three-year savings exceeding $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In another recent project, Samana helped a cruise line with 3,000 users move from public cloud workloads back to an on-premises XenServer environment, significantly reducing operational costs and complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese migrations are game-changers for our customers,\u201d<\/em> says Felipe Bernal, services director. \u201cThey see immediate savings and long-term benefits. It\u2019s not just about saving money\u2014customers also value the simplicity and integration XenServer provides for their Citrix workloads.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Samana has seen a surge in customers exploring XenServer due to rising VMware licensing costs. This trend is expected to accelerate in 2025 as more organizations seek cost-effective solutions for their IT environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur customers often come to us because VMware\u2019s rising licensing costs are unsustainable,\u201d<\/em> explains Gomez. \u201cWe help them migrate to XenServer, which not only cuts costs but also simplifies management.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith VMware\u2019s rising costs, customers are finding it harder to justify their licensing fees,\u201d<\/em> adds Bernal. \u201cXenServer offers the same performance for Citrix workloads at zero cost, making it a no-brainer for many organizations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Samana Group has worked with diverse industries, delivering measurable results for their clients. Notable examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe estimate that over the years, we\u2019ve saved our customers tens of millions of dollars by moving them to XenServer,\u201d<\/em> says Gomez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What sets Samana apart is their combined expertise in XenServer implementation and managed services. By integrating implementation and ongoing management, Samana ensures each solution is built with long-term success in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor many of our clients, the migration to XenServer is seamless because we integrate management services into the process,\u201d<\/em> says Gomez. \u201cThey trust us to take full ownership of their environment, so they can focus on other priorities while we ensure everything runs smoothly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Samana\u2019s managed services eliminate the need for internal training on XenServer, reduce the risks associated with hypervisor replacement, and provide clients with peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur managed services go beyond standard support,\u201d<\/em> Bernal adds. \u201cWe take full ownership of our customers\u2019 environments, so they can focus on what they do best while we handle the rest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe pride ourselves on delivering white-glove service and solutions tailored to each client\u2019s unique needs,\u201d<\/em> says John Bromfield, Chief Revenue Officer, \u201cThat\u2019s what sets us apart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking to optimize your IT budget in 2025, Samana Group is here to help.
