StorSimple Solution Pricing

Virtual Appliance

Virtual Appliance 1200 Models can be installed without any physical appliance or a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. The total cost for the virtual appliance consists of the StorSimple monthly subscription fee, shown below, as well as the underlying Azure Blob storage and data transfer charges which vary according to the usage. Standard support is included with the monthly subscription fee.

Virtual Appliance 1200 Monthly Subscription: $-*

The cost of the virtual appliance is prorated daily and starts once the device is activated through Azure.

StorSimple Manager is available in specific Azure regions. But StorSimple devices managed in one region can send data to any Azure Data Center that supports Blob Storage.

* This is an approximate monthly cost using the daily rate of $-, multiplied by 365 days and divided by 12 months.

Physical Appliance

The Microsoft Azure StorSimple 8000 series hybrid storage arrays can be purchased and added to your Microsoft Enterprise Agreement as part of your overall commitment to Microsoft Azure services and paid for in the same way you pay for other Azure services.

The 8000 series are accompanied by the StorSimple Cloud Appliances. These virtual appliances run in Azure and can only be installed after activating an appliance.
