Ah now I understand what you meant with "You are purchasing hardware", I missed completely that point. "You are purchasing hardware from us" :) yeah, then it's what I originally understood. Good :) so I guess one time payment, I get the hardware, I set up with your software into your hardware that I purchased and then I should be good.

We sell support too, but yes, fundamentally it's a one-time payment: we don't have software licensing fees, for example (and the vast majority of it is open source). You're purchasing physical hardware.

You don't even need to set it up! Heck, the rack comes pre-cabled. You roll it into the data center, hook it up to power and internet, turn it on, and get going.
