Do you want to recover Domain Controller objects without the need to recover the entire DC server ? (If yes, then Enterprise or Enterprise Plus).Do you want to recover SQL objects without the need to recover the entire SQL server ? (If yes, then Enterprise or Enterprise Plus).You should speak to your sales rep about both options and give realistic scenario based on examples of your hardware (like Dell servers can have up to 7 yr support), so you may want to calculate total cost of operations based on 7 years and growth.ĭo you need Standard vs Enterprise vs Enterprise Plus ? With that, you may save on other 'per socket' license costs (Veeam, 'old Oracle SE1', VMware Standard etc).īased on your 15 VMs using Veeam Essentials s USD 135x3 or USD 405 per year or USD 1215 for 3 yr or USD 2025 for 5 years.īut based on 4 socket 'perpetual' s like USD 3750 (do note that there is an annual maintenance after the first year). If you are looking to refresh hardware, you may consider host servers running Single Intel Xeon 16 core CPUs (due to MS Server 2016 licensing) instead of Dual Xeon 8 core CPUs.

I do make that remark as I have organisations that fall into both the Veeam and Veeam Essentials groups. If you fit into the 50 VMs with 6 CPUs (you fall into the VMware Essentials Plus license group).then you may want to look at Veeam Essentials Licensing. So are my numbers correct, or did I miss something?

Now our reseller has been known to try to upsell us before, like a tens of thousand $ quote for Hyper-V server, when it's *&^%ing FREE (don't get me started), so maybe they pitched Enterprise Plus and per-cpu pricing. Surely I'm missing another component, as that seems like a no-brainer. OK I haven't had enough sleep lately so maybe I'm misunderstanding something. for 13 VMs.Įven better, Veeam Backup Essentials is $127.50 /yr for 5 VM bundles, so 3 bundles is $382.50 /yr. Looking at Veeam Backup and Replication Standard, it's $42.50 per VM per year, so $552.00 /yr. 4 Hyper-V servers (2 production, one non-critical stuff and one test) 13 'production' VMs. I guess we'd be considered a small business, 100 users, 2 locations. I looked at the Veeam website for pricing, and it seems very reasonable to me. Now it's time to renew and I'd really like to switch to Veeam. I wasn't very involved in the process but was told it was too expensive, so we went with a different option. Hi all, quick question on Veeam pricing before I get the powers that be to go get a quote.Ī while ago we were switching backup systems, and I suggested Veeam.
