Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The product is quite expensive and is among the most expensive for this type of solution."
  • "A single socket costs you around US $6,000 for three years. At a minimum, you have a three load cluster for a medium or enterprise-scale company. It can get quite expensive because you're likely to need four to six sockets on the other side. It comes to around $30,000."
  • "I believe there is a yearly licensing fee of around $2000 - $5000. I don't think there are additional costs above that but it depends on the type of infrastructure you're booting."
  • "VMware Software Defined Storage is a slightly expensive solution."
