New Vembu BDR Suite 3.9.1 versions are:

Standard Edition:

Standard edition is for small and medium business users comprising of all basic functional options available.

This version is suitable for most of the companies (particularly with small environments) since they do not need to Backup to Tape or have Virtual Machines Replication. Just need a simple Backup of their environment.

So instead of buying a version with some features that they will never use, customers can now acquire a Standard Edition with the essential Backup functions and fully operational for their physical or virtual environments.

Vembu BDR Standard Edition pricing:

The Standard Edition for VMware Backup is priced at USD 216/CPU-socket/annum. If your requirement comes under 6 CPU sockets, you get an additional discount of 50% that could lead to USD 108/CPU-socket/annum!

The Standard Edition for Hyper-V Backup also has surprises. Priced at a reasonable USD 144/CPU-socket/annum, it gets down to USD 72/CPU-socket/annum if you fall under the discount mentioned above category.
