Per node, per year. Every feature included.
There is no feature matrix. Pick the size of your servers and the support you want — every class is the whole platform, and density inside a class is free.
A node's class is set by its physical core count and checked continuously. Inside a class, denser CPUs cost nothing extra. 3-year terms take 10% off, 5-year terms 15% off. Fleets get 15% off at 9 nodes, 25% at 25, and 35% at 65.
The whole platform, unlimited nodes, forever. Clustering, HA, live migration and storage policies all included — the free edition is the product, not a crippled demo. Community update channel and forum support; no SLA. Commercial use permitted.
One product. No editions to compare.
- Fabric Compute: virtualization, live migration, hibernate

- Per-tenant SDN and micro-segmentation
- Signed A/B updates with automatic rollback
- Web console, VNC, serial, and remote shell
- In-product BMC/IPMI control
- REST API and fully air-gapped operation
Business hours, next-business-day response, unlimited tickets. Deployments under $2,500/yr get portal and email support with 3 tickets included per year.
24×7×365 coverage with 1-hour critical-incident response, proactive telemetry and call-home. Available on any class.
MSP: monthly per node from $50, no minimum term, multitenancy included. OEM: per-node royalty for partners shipping Fabric pre-installed.
A meter you don't pay twice for.
Most competitors charge per CPU core, so the bill grows every time you buy denser hardware. Example: one dual-socket server, 32 cores, fully loaded with VMs (annual list).
Scale Computing is the verified 5-year street rate from reseller catalogs and a transacted public contract (August 2026); VergeIO and Nutanix are list/reseller prices; VMware is representative VCF per-core math. Proxmox shows its Premium tier for two sockets (Standard is about half that); Proxmox is genuinely cheaper on license, but it is a DIY stack with no turnkey appliance and no 24×7 support — Fabric's advantage there is integration and support, not raw license price.
The denser your servers, the bigger the gap. A per-core competitor at ~$10,400/node at 16 cores costs ~$20,800 at 32 and ~$41,500 at 64. Fabric moves one band, once.

Frequently asked questions
Because one flat price is either too expensive for a four-core edge box or too cheap for a 128-core enterprise host. A class is a wide band, set once by the node’s core count, and inside a band density is free: moving from 20 cores to 32 costs nothing. We classify nodes; we don’t meter them.
If it stays inside its class, nothing changes. If it crosses into the next class, your portal shows the new class and the price difference, and you request an updated entitlement token. Replacing a failed node with an identical one never needs anything from us.
Each fabric holds a signed token stating how many nodes of each class you have. Your nodes verify it locally, offline. There is no license server in your cluster, no phone-home, and nothing we can switch off remotely — the subscription grants access to the signed production update channel.
A hypervisor must stay patched against new vulnerabilities. Perpetual licenses encourage running unpatched, internet-facing infrastructure, a security risk we won’t design in. Subscription keeps every node on the signed security-update channel.
Yes. Fabric installs on commodity x86 servers, no restrictive hardware compatibility list, with growable RAID-1 from one disk to many.
Yes — it is designed for it. There is no phone-home and no licence server in your cluster. Sign-in is local (password, TOTP or passkey, never an emailed link), your control plane runs on your own appliance, and firmware arrives as a signed image you import into the fabric’s own library and verify before it rolls. Nothing in the platform needs to reach the internet.
Start free. Scale when you're ready.
Run the whole platform free, on as many nodes as you like. Move to a paid class the day you need the production update channel and a support contract.
Fabric is in closed beta today. General availability is planned for Q1 2027. Beta access is by invitation while we work with early customers.
