@CCWTech my god. $1500. . .. yeah I'd rather use a script or a different hypervisor entirely with a free backup appliance like Veeam free or XO.
Exactly. I nearly asked them what they were smoking.
-
I'm assuming those cores are for the hypervisor as well. Not two socket, but two core?
Who would really consider that?

Per physical socket.

Oh okay, that at least isn't nearly as bad as it sounded.

If you had a mongo server with a ton of VM's, not bad.
They are just clearly not intended to market MSP's.

Still it's expensive when you can use any of the same tools that are agent based, or directly backup via Virt-Manager or any number of scripts.
Where is the value in this?

I don't know if they have a central management console or not. If they did, that would be handy, but really the value doesn't justify cost.

You can get a central console with XO at absolutely 0 cost, unlimited scale and any number of sockets and hosts. Literally thousands of hosts if you wanted too. . .

Wow, pricing is crazy high.
Poor service, high price... Hard pass.

I asked if they really had customers who would pay that amount. They said hundreds... Ummm ok, not thousands? Really?
