What are the costs associated with different virtualization platforms?

The costs can vary significantly based on the platform. For example, VMware tends to be on the higher end, while platforms like Proxmox are more budget-friendly. Are you looking for specific platforms?

Yes, can you compare VMware, Hyper-V, and Proxmox?

Sure! VMware typically costs around $1,000 per CPU, Hyper-V is often included with Windows Server licenses, and Proxmox is open-source, so it's free but may have support costs. Would you like more details on any of these?

What about the licensing models for each?

VMware uses a per-CPU licensing model, Hyper-V is licensed through Windows Server, and Proxmox is free but offers paid support options. Do you need help with anything else?

Can you provide a summary of the pros and cons of each?

Absolutely! VMware is feature-rich but expensive, Hyper-V is cost-effective if you already use Windows, and Proxmox is flexible and free but may require more technical expertise.
