Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | It's expensive. it's in the hundreds of thousands. It's beneficial, but at times, I feel compared to other vendors, we are paying a premium for the licensing that other vendors include. The price to performance ratio with NetApp is unmatched by any other vendor right now. The pricing is not a lot considering what you get and it bundles hardware and licensing. Comparing this solution to others it may seem expensive, but the price to performance for NetApp is greater. We would like it to be free. One of the reasons we like this solution is that all of the features are included with the one license. We don't like the cost. We would like to buy more. It definitely reduces costs because it simply takes less power to run these systems. While the SSDs don't take power, they are in general very big right now. So, the running cost has decreased for a lot of our customers. |
