Published Telco Customer References
Publicly reported deployments as of September 2026, paraphrased from vendor and press sources. Verify current status with each vendor before citing to a client.
A. Licensing Model
B. Environment Sizing
Enable the environments in scope and enter the physical footprint for each. Control-plane and worker nodes are sized separately.
C. Infrastructure & Billable-Footprint Summary
Total physical footprint (across enabled environments)
Billable quantity per product
Applies each product's licensing rule (e.g. Red Hat exempts control-plane nodes) to the totals above.
D. Licensing Unit & List Price
Prices are pre-filled with September 2026 list-price assumptions (see notes column) — editable. Replace with confirmed vendor/distributor quotes before presenting to a client.
E. Total Pricing Comparison
Note: guest-OS licensing running inside the virtual machines (e.g. Windows Server, RHEL subscriptions) is out of scope of this comparison — only the virtualization/infrastructure platform licensing shown above is included.
Price-to-Feature Positioning Graph
Plots each product's Total Cost of Ownership (X-axis, from the TCO Calculator on Tab 2) against a Platform Capability Score (Y-axis, from the feature scoring below) — a Magic-Quadrant-style view of where each vendor sits on value. The dashed lines mark the average cost and average score across the seven products, splitting the chart into four quadrants.
Feature Scoring (0-10 per category, editable)
Illustrative starting scores based on the Tab 1 feature comparison — editable. Adjust any cell to reflect your own evaluation criteria or a specific client's weighting; the chart above and the Capability Score row update immediately.
