license (KITS)

[khaliqamar]

can i use vmware essential kit (RBO) in my one datacenter?

RBO ( retail branch office).

this kit comes with min 10 sites and 3 hosts in one site.

can any one comment on it. is it a good idea to buy essential kit instead of buying separate enterprise license.

If i have around 100 CPUs on my hosts, then i have to buy  3 sites only.

for virtual center i can buy separate standard license.

What are the difference between RBO kit and enterprise license ?

Is this workable?

VMware recently changed licensing for the vSphere Remote Office Branch Office Editions. Please take a look at VMware vSphere Editions and Kits Comparison for changes in licensing.

Hi

Welcome to communities.

I think answer is yes  .

The License only limites option and features availabiliyt so  if you dont need enterprise

feature and max supported host are not exceed your environment they you can do that

so there will be no vmotion and storage vmotion available if i use RBO, or any essential kit ?

Did you see the link I posted? Both vSphere Remote Office Branch Office Editions come with vMotion, Storage vMotion, HA, ...
