- The per-GB plan is based on the total cloud and local storage used. There is no limit on the number of devices you can protect.
- The per-workload plan is based on the total number of workloads (physical servers, workstations, virtual machines, etc), as well as native cloud storage used.
Note: You can choose only one plan per customer.
