The hardware sale is usually a scam to yield fatter renewals.

EMC did something similar with avamar... you’d buy spray painted SuperMicro boxes runnding RHEL and pay for software as well. Come node end of life, you have to buy the software and hardware again, even after paying the 20-25% maintenance.

Netapp too. A quote for a new filer and a 5th year of support on a 4 year old one are usually about the same.
