The more points a service provider consumes, the less a single point costs. The retail price for a single point is $1,00. This is a non-pertual, pay-per-use model where a service provider licenses VMware products through a points based model where each product costs a specific number of points per month.
The VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) is suitable for partners who offer hosted IT services to 3rd parties.
Vmware horizon suite pricing license#
I will take this into consideration because vCloud director is also included in VSPP.ĮSXi License per CPU socket (Includes vCloud Director) Since vSphere 5.1 there is a new pricing model available, the vCloud Suite which also includes vSphere Enterprise Plus, vCloud Director and VMware vCloud Networking and Security Standard. Additionally you always have to pay Subscription and Support (SnS) for at least one year. Perpetual editions does not include a vCenter Server. Just count the CPU sockets, buy one additional vCenter license and you are done. You do not need to consider virtual or physical memory when buying perpetual licenses. (In 2011/2012 with vSphere 5 the memory entitlement was limited to 96GB per CPU socket within Enterprise Plus.) That implies that the cost factor is only the CPU Power. As of today there is an unlimited virtual memory entitlement. This is the common pricing model by VMware.
To make the models comparable i will consider vSphere Enterprise Plus Licenses only, without any additional products, except VMware vCloud Director. Today i am going to compare the the two license models perpetual and VSPP (VMware Service Provider Program). With the latest changes VMware has really fair and understandable licensing models.
Vmware horizon suite pricing software#
Some application software vendors require cpu socket based licensing, which is fair for physical hardware but inappropriate for software running inside virtual machines. Since virtualization has become wildly popular things are getting worse. Software licensing is one of the most confusing part within the IT industry.
