In my case, the licensing per terabytes is very high and it must be licensed for each extra functionality.
This solution allows the use of off-the-shelf hardware and charges by the TB of storage.

The cost of Scality RING8 could be less expensive. It is difficult for smaller businesses to afford it.
The initial cost (CAPEX) to set up the infrastructure is expensive due to the specific hardware required.

StorMagic SvSAN is simple hyperconverged storage used to eliminate downtime. It provides high availability with two nodes per cluster, and boasts users among thousands of organizations to keep mission-critical applications and data online and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The pricing of StorMagic SvSAN is fairly good because if you compare it with VMware, it's at a better price. This is an important thing to remember.
The licensing cost is $7,000 per two nodes for two terabytes.

The licensing is based on the number of terabytes.
The licensing model is complex and depends on factors such as the number of processing cores and the amount of storage.

Red Hat Gluster Storage (formerly known as Red Hat Storage Server) is a software-defined storage (SDS) platform designed to handle the requirements of traditional file storage—high-capacity tasks like backup and archival as well as high-performance tasks of analytics and virtualization. But unlike traditional storage systems, Red Hat Gluster Storage isn’t rigid and expensive. It easily scales across bare metal, virtual, container, and cloud deployments.
If you need cheap storage, but still need high availability, it's a good product to look at.

HPE StoreVirtual storage ensures that organisations can optimise the benefits of server virtualisation with cost-effective high availability and disaster recovery. The iSCSI-based, scale-out storage platform is easy to manage and change – meeting ongoing business demands without creating IT bottlenecks or application downtime. Overcoming the cost and management limitations of traditional storage area networks (SANs), HPE StoreVirtual nodes use storage clustering to form a single pool of resources that enable organisations to buy only what they need today, scaling non-disruptively to meet requirements in the future.
Licensing is not exactly straightforward, but not the worst I have ever seen.
One of the key features about it is that when you buy either a VSA license or a StoreVirtual appliance, all your software's included.
