| Third party backup | £17,040 | Included | £17,040 |

- Excludes any add-on licences for vSAN, NSX, or other platform elements.
- Figures shown are estimates based on stated assumptions and publicly available, market-observed inputs, and should be validated against your own quotations.
- VMware does not include backup technology whereas VMease does, so a third-party backup licence based on publicly available, market-observed pricing has been included for fair comparison.
- On a 3 year term the VMease licence is shown at its yearly rate after a 10% discount. VMware pricing has no term discount.
- VMease UniCloud runs on Proxmox VE. A Proxmox subscription is extra and is not included above.
Comparison context
What drives operations time savings?
Operations time is reduced by the platform’s automated and autonomous operation model. Capabilities such as automatic system patching, policy-led lifecycle tasks, and automated backup-restore testing for selected workloads materially reduce repetitive manual effort.
