Hi,
Ive just looked on the VMware store, atm i have about 19 esxi hosts, but im using vsphere essentials i bought two so i can licnese 6 hosts and have two vcenters.
but ive noticed there is a VSphere standard which is about £1,300 but im abit confused as it doesn't say how many hosts you can licnese or anything? ive been waiting on the phone for an hour to VMware but no one answered. i noticed one part somewhere else that its £1,300 per CPU in a server but i wasn't sure f that's right as i have 19 esxi hosts that would make me have 40 CPU's with my quad socket m820. so that would be £52,000 without VCenter. seems silly to me. when you can buy essentials term for £270 with vcenter for three hosts.
