Notes. Every edition — including Community — uses the same encryption and hardening. Automated restore testing is included from Standard and above. Cross-platform restore (e.g. VMware → Proxmox) is a Professional-tier capability, typically used for planned hypervisor migrations.
1 DEC SDNS cross-product link-up is a paid add-on SKU that enables an AI Quorum between two DEC-LLC core products — multi-product AI agents reaching consensus on coordinated actions across your infrastructure. Priced at $3K / yr per link-up between two products, or $15K / yr for the full bundle (all 6 links among OpenUTM / IVMIA / NIVMIA / VaultSync). Requires Professional tier or higher on both products in the link-up. Not available at Community or Standard. Why a fee: SDNS pricing underwrites the cyber / IT / business-E&O insurance coverage DEC-LLC carries for cross-product orchestration — coordinated action carries liability, and the fee funds the insurance that covers it.
Every DEC-LLC product starts free. Scale when you outgrow it. Keep what you built.
