Red Hat enteRpRise ViRtualization:

Pricing Quickguide for servers and desktoPs

red Hat enterPrise virtualization subscriPtion models Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization subscriptions are based on the number of managed sockets for hypervisor hosts for server virtualization and on the number of concurrent desktops for desktop virtualization, providing customers with a straightforward model for ordering, deployment, and capacity planning. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers subscriptions are required for server virtualization and are sold on a per-managed-socket basis. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers subscription is also a prerequisite for desktop virtualization, and must be present on each host to be used for desktops. Additionally, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops subscriptions are required for each concurrent desktop and are sold in packs of 25 concurrent desktops.

How to select wHicH version of red Hat enterPrise linux to use as a red Hat enterPrise virtualization HYPervisor:

If you want a small, PXE bootable, zero management hypervisor If you are running Windows only or a small number of RHEL guests If you want to do all of your host management from the RHEV-M management interface If you want to install your hypervisor hosts with little or no Linux expertise

If you want a full RHEL operating system on your hypervisor hosts If you need to install third party drivers or agents If you want to use a single standard RHEL image on all of your hypervisor hosts and bare metal RHEL servers If you want to run bare metal RHEL applications and VMs side-by-side

Count # of hosts = N

Do your hosts have more than 2 sockets? No Do you need more than 4 RHEL guests per host?

Yes

Yes

No Select N x RHEL as hypervisor, max 2 sockets, 4 RHEL guests per host

Select N x RHEL-AP as hypervisor, get unlimited RHEL guests per host

using red Hat enterPrise linux as a HYPervisor For customers who want to host Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization on a full Red Hat Enterprise Linux instance, Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform can be used as a host for virtual machines. A Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform subscription is required for each host in this model, in addition to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers subscription. We generally recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform for use with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.

Please note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux must be purchased separately.
