It is an open-source solution. We do not need to pay the license cost if we install and manage the tool. We must purchase the license and support if we need a global patch. The subscription fee depends on the type of license we purchase. The license fee must be paid annually.

Price-wise, RHEV is okay, in my opinion.

The solution's pricing depends on the use cases.

Licensing costs are very reasonable.

This product has a variety of licensing options available. However, the level of licensing, and therefore the cost of licensing, is dependent on the number of servers being utilized.

I'm not sure about the pricing. It's not an aspect I'm involved with.

We have a three-year licensing agreement. They do offer a fair price. I would rate them at a four out of five in terms of value for money. There are no other fees on top of the standard licensing fee.

The price of RHEV is high. It is an open-source solution, the price should be less. The price should not be on par with a solution, such as VMware. It's not more or equal to VMware, it's less, but the difference should be more substantial. If the price starts getting too high people will start going back to pure open source products. If the prices are the same as compared to VMware, then why would they use any Red Hat solution, such as RHEV. The features, robustness, and suitability for enterprise VMware has an edge over RHEV. The price should come down.

The solution does not require licencing but a subscription is necessary, which is very affordable.

We buy a license for commercial use, and we also use the free editions.

We have to pay extra for vulnerability and fault tolerance.

I am not fully sure, but I believe we pay on a yearly basis.

Red Hat is easily three to five times cheaper than the nearest competitor. Our business model is slightly different. If you look at Gerome HCI, for example, the core product that we sell, it is not Red Hat based but certain components use Red Hat components, for example, sales and subscription. It would cost about $USD5,000 per year to keep that going. Instead, we charge slightly more initially, maybe $USD7,000-$8,000, and then reduce the annual support fee to maybe $USD1,000.

Server Virtualization Software
What is sever virtualization software? Server virtualization software, sometimes also called platform virtualization software, is a staple of the modern data center. Virtualization involves emulating a complete physical computer in virtual form. Server virtualization is the process of using a software application to divide a single physical server into separate unique virtual servers. Each of the servers is capable of having its own operating system and working independently....
