VMware vSAN is a software-defined storage product that is used in collaboration with VMware ESXi hypervisor and that provisions and manages storage based on policies, regardless of the underlying hardware. The solution enables you to prime your business for growth through its seamless evolution (it is integrated with vSphere and requires no new tools), its flexibility, and its multi-cloud capabilities. As an industry-leading software, VMware vSAN provides high levels of performance with minimal impact on CPU and memory.
The first 1-2 years of purchasing vSAN will be expensive. Thereafter, the longer you are running it, the more cost savings you will have.
Its reasonable, compare with other storage vendors

The other big advantage is that Ceph is free software. Compared to traditional SAN based storage, it is very economical.
There is no cost for software.

Portworx is the solution for running stateful containers in production, designed with DevOps in mind. With Portworx, users can manage any database or stateful service on any infrastructure using any container scheduler, including Kubernetes, Mesosphere DC/OS, and Docker Swarm. Portworx solves the five most common problems DevOps teams encounter when running stateful services in production: persistence, high availability, data automation, security, and support for multiple data stores and infrastructure.
I'm not sure how the licensing was broken out, but I don't think our offering of the Portworx was more than USD $20,000.
The price of Portworx Enterprise is high.

The cost of Scality RING8 could be less expensive. It is difficult for smaller businesses to afford it.
The initial cost (CAPEX) to set up the infrastructure is expensive due to the specific hardware required.

The licensing is based on the number of terabytes.
The licensing model is complex and depends on factors such as the number of processing cores and the amount of storage.

For SMB, ROBO and Enterprises, who look to bring in quick deployment and operation simplicity to virtualization workloads and reduce related expenses, our solution is StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA). It unifies commodity servers, disks and flash, hypervisor of choice, StarWind Virtual SAN, Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct or VMware Virtual SAN and associated software into a single manageable layer. The HCA supports scale-up by adding disks and flash, and scale-out by adding extra nodes.
Its cost was reasonable.
This was all completed at an affordable price point for an SMB, which was also a key element for an NPO.
