We wanted test first since currently vms are on Esxi to move to xcp-ng. If everything goes well we planned to move production by purchasing the pro-support/licenses.

Later when budgeting, management wanted to see and compare prices with different products (as per our requirement).

As per our very small environment concerned we won't get any issues with VMWare if any may be 1 call per year. if any issue VMWare support its per call basis USD 49 an hour.

Also Xcp-ng we won't get issues only issues we will get only when migrating or converting VMs from VMware to xcp-ng.

@olivierlambert
We are very serious but we don't need all those features, our requirement is very simple- hypervisor with basic functionality + Backup that it.

In this case VMWare essential is very cheap compared to Xcp-ng. If any option available like above ready to get it on board now.

VMWare essential per host /year its - USD 78
Xcp-ng per host/year its USD- 600

@Gheppy

Thanks, let try it and check.

@olivierlambert

We can use HDP license free for VMWare & Hyper-v backup.

@olivierlambert

Thanks for the update, but XOA free won't cover backups which is necessary.

@olivierlambert

That link I know from here from here only got prices shared in last thread, xcp-ng $ 600/yr + XOA Starter 840/yr Total $1440.
Per Year. VMware Essential kit $ 686 / 3 yrs for 3 hosts with 2 cpus per host & VCenter for Management (this is sufficient for our requirement).

First let me present to our management the prices of xcp-ng & Vmware and get bac

"As far our environment concerned VM Ware Vshpere essential kit suits and is cheap(3 Hosts 2 cpus each + 1 Vsphere Full backup covered) is USD 686 for 3 years where as xcp-ng&XOA 1,440 per year licenses expensive and no guarantee workload will work."

@olivierlambert

How to contact what is the pro support price?

@olivierlambert

Our requirement is very simple we want to move 2 VMs from an hosting provider which are hosted on Vmware Esxi to our Data center Suse Linux (Hana DB) & Windows server 2019 (App Server).

And import some VMs example ForitManager, then gradually create VM's based on new requirements and have backups.

@olivierlambert

But before moving all our productions and purchase pro-support/licenses we want to test. But Xcp-ng has many problems no evaluation versions available in test phase we are getting so many issues how can we go to production/Purchase pro -support without testing. We are testing different hypervisors like VMWare, XCP-ng & Promax we preferred to test our Test workload on VMWare & XCP-ng to choose the best.

On Vmware elevation everything works like charm no issue, and they have evaluation all our Test VM's works very well all testing done, we had impression on xcp-ng decided to test if everything goes well we will have it on production but we didn't see any significance most of the VM's won't work, multipath won't work.
Only advantage xcp-ng of we see is Backup comes with XOA.

As far our environment concerned VM Ware Vshpere essential kit suits and is cheap(3 Hosts 2 cpus each + 1 Vsphere) is USD 686 for 3 years where as xcp-ng&XOA 1,440 per year licenses expensive and no guarantee workload will work.

And many problems are there in xcp-ng, who ever the customer they will first try it in Test environment if all well the they will buy/purchase licenses/pro-support.

Anyway thanks above are my points am not any competitor/promoting VMWare am normal customer who is looking for better product/support after seeing some videos of Lawrence System in Youtube thought of using the xcp-ng and use in production, product out sight looks good but lack customer satisfaction.

Thanks will appreciated if xcp-ng team will give solutions/support and pricing that guarantee to test our workload so I can demonstrate to our management and get it on board.

@Darkbeldin

Eish... so many problems are there in xcp-ng noting works properly, thanks let us revert back to VM Ware thanks for the support.
