On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight. The price is a little bit expensive for IBM solutions, but sometimes it depends on the customer size, budget, or the discounts offered by IBM. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees.
When buying the storage system, there is a basic bundle of licenses included. If you need something extra, you have to pay for it additionally. But generally, customers are buying all the licenses in the basic bundle.
Price-wise, the solution offers excellent pricing to its users. In short, the prices offered by the solution are competitive compared to similar solutions. So a person can get value for their money since the solution offers its users a wide scale to choose from when it comes to pricing. There are no hidden license costs. Most of the licenses come free with the Spectrum Virtualize OS.

Compared to other solutions, the cost of IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe is reasonable, with a one-time payment of around $70,000. However, additional support is available for $25,000 for three years. The overall maintenance cost is steep. Having a conversation about the actual cost of the solution over time is crucial because the initial price at purchase may not reflect the eventual cost. There is a possibility that the price could fluctuate.
