There is room for improvement in the licensing structure, maybe. Regarding sizing the resources, sometimes it's difficult to calculate/compute them based on the client's requirements. Sometimes, clients give us their files to review, which include the VMs they want to run. However, because they might not have a clear picture of their VMs' resource needs, we have to calculate those resources ourselves. So, to simplify things, we calculate all the resources and then look for hardware specifications that can fit those VMs on the server. Regarding the computation, it's actually difficult. So, we use formulas together to get to that solution.
Hyper-Converged Infrastructure refers to a system where numerous integrated technologies can be managed within a single system, through one main channel. Typically software-centric, the architecture tightly integrates storage, networking, and virtual machines.
The licensing model is moderately complex. The tool is expensive. It is VMware’s fault, though.

The tool's pricing is competitive.
You need to pay a license for additional features. If we need to monitor hardware for the automatic alert notification, we need to pay them.
Customers really like the pricing as it's quite affordable for them.
