Pricing Explained

VMware Cloud Foundation pricing — the short version

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is licensed per physical CPU core through Broadcom's subscription model. Pricing covers the full software-defined infrastructure stack — vSphere for compute, vSAN ESA for storage, NSX for networking, VCF Operations for monitoring, and Fleet Management for lifecycle automation — in a single SKU. Every licensed core includes 1 TiB of vSAN storage capacity.

The 27 Virtual VCF Quote Builder above turns sizing questions into an exact configuration: choose your edition (VCF, VVF, or Edge), enter your host and core counts, add optional capacity, security, or AI extensions, and pick your subscription term. The result is a complete configuration ready for an exact VCF quote.

What's Included

What VCF pricing includes

A single VMware Cloud Foundation subscription covers every layer of a production private cloud:

  • vSphere (ESXi + vCenter) — compute hypervisor and management
  • vSAN ESA — hyperconverged storage at 1 TiB per core included
  • NSX — software-defined networking with switching, routing, and load balancing
  • VCF Operations — performance, capacity, and configuration management
  • VCF Automation — self-service portal and infrastructure-as-code
  • Fleet Management — multi-cluster lifecycle and patching automation

Optional add-ons priced separately: vDefend (distributed firewall + threat defense), +Capacity (additional vSAN storage beyond the included allowance), and Private AI (GPU-accelerated AI workloads with NVIDIA integration). The configurator above lets you toggle these into your quote scope.

The Quote Process

How a VCF quote from 27 Virtual works

Submit the configurator above and you'll receive a complete VCF quote within one business day in most cases. 27 Virtual is a Broadcom Pinnacle Partner — the highest tier of partner authorization — which means we can offer competitive VMware Cloud Foundation pricing, deployment expertise, and migration support in one engagement.

Your quote includes the exact license SKUs needed for your configuration, our recommended deployment services, and post-deployment support options. Complex deployments involving migration from legacy vSphere environments, multi-site VCF, or VCF Edge architectures may take 2-3 business days as we scope the engagement properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

VMware Cloud Foundation pricing FAQ

How is VMware Cloud Foundation pricing structured?
VMware Cloud Foundation is licensed per physical CPU core through Broadcom's subscription model. There is a 16-core minimum per CPU socket. A single VCF subscription covers vSphere, vSAN ESA storage at 1 TiB per core, NSX networking, VCF Operations, and Fleet Management. Pricing scales with the total licensed cores in the deployment.
What is the minimum cost for VMware Cloud Foundation?
The pricing floor is set by the 16-core minimum per CPU and Broadcom's recommendation that VCF be deployed across at least 4 hosts for production. For exact VCF pricing on your configuration — host count, edition, term, and add-ons — submit the builder above and 27 Virtual will return a quote within one business day.
Does VCF pricing include vSAN storage?
Yes. VMware Cloud Foundation includes 1 TiB of vSAN ESA capacity per licensed core. vSphere Foundation (VVF) includes 0.25 TiB per core. If you need more storage than the included allowance, the +Capacity SKU is available as an add-on, priced separately per TiB.
What subscription terms are available for VCF pricing?
VMware Cloud Foundation subscriptions are available in 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year terms. Longer terms typically have lower effective annual pricing. 27 Virtual can model the optimal term length based on your hardware refresh cycle, budget posture, and operational requirements as part of your quote.
How long does it take to get a VCF quote from 27 Virtual?
Most VCF quotes are returned within one business day of submission. Complex deployments — large multi-site environments, vDefend security scoping, VCF Edge architectures, or migrations from legacy vSphere — may take 2-3 business days as we scope deployment services and migration support alongside the licensing.
Do I need to buy VCF directly from Broadcom?
No. VMware Cloud Foundation is sold through Broadcom's authorized partner channel. 27 Virtual is a Broadcom Pinnacle Partner — the highest tier of partner authorization — which means we can offer competitive VCF pricing alongside deployment expertise, migration support, and post-deployment services in a single engagement.
What is the difference between VCF, VVF, and VCF Edge pricing?
VCF (Cloud Foundation) costs more per core because it bundles the full stack: vSphere, vSAN, NSX, VCF Operations, Automation, and Fleet Management. VVF (vSphere Foundation) is priced lower for focused virtualization workloads — vSphere, vSAN, and Aria Operations only. VCF Edge is priced per-site for remote and branch deployments, starting from a single host with an 8-core minimum.
How does VMware Cloud Foundation pricing compare to public cloud?
For predictable, steady-state workloads, VCF typically delivers 30-50% TCO savings over equivalent public cloud capacity at year 3 and beyond. Exact savings depend on your workload patterns, storage requirements, and existing data center investments. 27 Virtual can build a TCO model for your specific environment as part of a quote consultation.
