Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it.

  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
