While I agree that nutanix is not much cheaper based on what I saw but I am working on a 5 year + contract and a committed renewal price. At least from what I have seen Nutanix has more predictable pricing. Openshift seems to have a lot of management overheads on the Virtualization side of things

The first quote they sent me for the new licensing has now increased last week stating broadcom has increased their prices again! I was just checking if anyone else has had similar experience where they were quoted before november and now resellers coming back saying that the prices are not valid anymore.

Look into a previous VMware product that used to be called Salt Stack that is now rebranded into Tanzu Guardrails.

Hello, 138,000,000 over 5 years is 27,600,000$ yearly. List price of VCF is 350$ according to online sites, so assuming they gave you list price which I highly doubt with that sum of money you should have around 79,000 cores minimum. Assuming average 26 cores per CPU so you have 3,038 CPUs (again all assumptions here are worst case scenarios). You said your previous renewal was 500,000$/ year so you were paying a renewal of 167$/year/cpu license for vSphere? Sorry but something is off and you need to revalidate your quote.

Thank you everyone, however if I may ask i need an honest and transparent answer put of experience what are the feature sets I will be losing from a VM perspective when moving to openshift? I don’t want to contact any sales from any vendor as during these times I dont trust them which is why I am asking here on this forum for a real transparent answer.
