How to buy

Buy it the way you already buy

No prices to compare and no new procurement process. Buy through a reseller, start with a pilot, or try it for 30 days. Every route starts with a short call.

  • Buy on a cooperative contract you may already use.

    Through a reseller

    • We sell through resellers that hold cooperative purchasing contracts, so a school district, college or agency may not need a bid of its own.
    • Your own approvals still apply, such as a board vote above your purchasing limit.
    • Ask which contracts cover your state.

  • A guided start on your own appliance.

    A pilot

    • Sized to fit under your direct purchasing limit, with written success criteria agreed up front.
    • We help install the appliance, set up sign-in and the first device credentials, and import your sites and switches from a spreadsheet.
    • The pilot fee is credited in full when you go on to subscribe.

  • The full product, on your own network, before you buy.

    A 30-day trial

    • The full product on your own appliance, reading your own switches. It needs no internet access.
    • It starts with a short call, and the 30 days count from the appliance’s first run.
    • To buy, import your license in Settings. Nothing is reinstalled and nothing you set up is lost, and the console never becomes read-only.

What happens after you book

Four steps, at your pace.

  1. Book a demo

    Tell us who you are and what you want to see. A person at Cenovel reads every request.

  2. A short call

    We talk about your network and your purchasing rules, and show you the console on your kind of problem.

  3. Trial or pilot

    Run Cenovel on your own appliance, reading your own switches.

  4. Buy the way you buy

    Through a reseller on a cooperative contract, or the route your purchasing rules allow.

For procurement

Straight answers for the business office.

Do you publish prices?

No. Pricing depends on your organization, and a quote comes from Cenovel or your reseller after a call.

Can we buy without running an RFP?

Often, yes: through a reseller on a cooperative purchasing contract your organization can already use, or with a pilot sized under your direct purchasing limit. Ask which contracts cover your state. We never split a purchase to stay under a limit.

What does procurement need from you?

We answer security questionnaires and, for school districts, sign data privacy agreements. Customers find the documents for purchasing and security review in the customer portal.

Where does it run?

On VMware vSphere, as one appliance VM delivered as an OVA. See System requirements.
