Pricing and Cost Advice | ||
It's much more expensive than rack servers. It was an issue, but when you compare it to the number of people who were administrative assistants before, it's on the positive ROI side. It's much cheaper. We currently have a perpetual license, which is kind of unlimited, so we don't have the normal licensing cost, yet. Our licensing costs are large, but it is combined between all of the Cisco products that we have. One of the challenges we have with HyperFlex is that they have a subscription fee for the operating system that runs on it, and if I remember correctly, it costs approximately $15,000 USD per month. It is relatively expensive, but it can easily return value by freeing up other resources. It's roughly $30,000 per Hyperflex license, so that would be about $60,000 a year. Our licensing is Hybrid. We have all of our applications for billing and outage management through this. They are not the cheapest on the market. But there's an old saying I like to quote: "If you know that you are getting what you pay for, it's fine if it's expensive." | Information Not Available | Information Not Available |
