VSphere edition compatability

[fixit]

Hi All,

I am proposing to a customer that they use VSphere Enterprise at the Primary site and for D/R purposes VSphere Essentials at the secondary site

Is this supported? We don't need all the bells and whistles at the D/R site it is just a means to restart the VM's in the event of a disaster

Many thanks

Simon

works, but you need check what is included in each kind of license.

it would be suffice, if vmotion and drs is not required in the DR.

Thanks guys

I just wanted to get a second opinion before recommending to customer

The D/R site will probably not need the VMotion/DRS etc that will be required in the Primary

Cheers
