VDP offers an incremental deduplicated backup schedule. VirtualSAN offers a software-ish RAID built into ESXi, but you'll pay out the wazoo for it (about 6 grand per host is what they quoted us a year ago). High Availability and live VM migration between hosts if offered in the paid versions, which is most definitely worth the money.

What are limitations vs paid? How do you manage containers? Does it support software raid? Does it have scheduled backup capabilities? How does it compare to Proxmox? I have a few linux centos servers: directadmin, email, DNS, speedtest, mysql database and box running lots of perl scripts to monitor my network. Would like to move them all to data center on one box and a second box there to shove backups on.
