VMware vSphere pricing breakdown
VMware vSphere is out and a lot of people like what VMware has done. I don’t think anybody questions that VMware has more virtualization options than anybody else, but all those options come at a price. So, what are the pricing options for VMware vSphere? The Mental Ward blog over on VirtualizationReview.com has a nice breakdown of vSphere pricing options:
There are two entry-level suites: Essentials and Essentials Plus. Essentials Plus adds high availability and data protection onto Essential’s base offering. Essentials is $995 for three servers (about $166 per socket), and Plus triples that, for a cost of $2,995.
The four core suites are Standard, Advanced, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus. Pricing:
- Standard: $795/proc
- Advanced: $2,245/proc
- Enterprise: $2,875/proc
- Enterprise Plus: $3,495/proc
