I just wanted to see if I am missing something on comparing the operating costs between xcp-ng and vmware for a business production environment. I am trying to price out a hypervisor platform out for a company that has no more than 3 hosts. They will need support, so I am pricing out xcp-ng enterprise support with xen orchestra enterprise. If I compare this to VMware vsphere essentials plus perpetual license and annual support renewal, vmware is a much lower operating cost per year.
If they did need more than 3 hosts, then I could see where xcp-ng w/xoa would be cheaper, since their per host for support works out to be cheaper. Anyone able to shine some light on this?
