Virtualisation Licensing; VMware vs. Microsoft (Apples vs. Oranges)
If you’re a big fan of VMware, I apologise (but this really has to be shared – you’d be a fool not to look into these price comparisons).
Microsoft’s Private Cloud Licensing
- unlimited Windows
- unlimited VM
- unlimited System Center 2012 Datacenter Edition which includes
- Operations Manager
- Configuration Manager
- Data Protection Manager
- Service Manager
- Virtual Machine Manager
- Endpoint Protection
- Orchestrator
- App Controller
…for $5,056 per processor.
VMware’s Private Cloud Licensing
>> $6617 per processor with an additional $4730 for each VM <<
Apples vs. Oranges
Enjoy explaining to your boss why you think VMware is better!
