On the scale of pricing, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would rate it as a three. I am familiar with the overall cost, which involves licenses from Dell and VMware, among others, making it a combination of various license types.

The solution price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX could be reduced. However, when comparing the price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX to other solutions, such as HP and Lenovo, it was the best price for what they offer.

Fully configured, it costs about $50,000 or $55,000. I did purchase a used one or refurbished one. I have been very happy with it so far. Even if it is an older unit, it doesn't look like its age, and I would say it has been a great choice so far for me. Obviously, I would have thought twice if I had to pay for a brand new one because it is still an older technology with the risk of being discontinued. I talked to Dell, and they're still selling it, but they're not promoting it. They're promoting another line of products right now for hyper-converged, which are much more expensive.
We started off with a base because we started our infrastructure with Dell and we always propose or prefer Dell which is easier to manage the warranty than with different vendors. Some other companies like IBM and HP have come to introduce their system but because we already have a lot of Dell devices we just renew with Dell. I'm not sure if the prices are lower or higher but I think it's okay.

When we buy a Dell PowerEdge server, we pay for the hardware and support. Then we buy Microsoft or Linux licenses
Licensing costs are charged yearly.
The solution is affordable. I'd rate it a four out of five. It's very reasonably priced. We pay a yearly licensing fee.
I don't have information about the licensing. I don't handle that aspect of the product.

This product is more reasonably-priced than similar solutions by HPE.
We are renewing the support and we are purchasing the license for the software.

Pricing is cheaper than buying three separate devices and then managing them separately. We bought a license for seven years.
