I am trying to understand this particular product to make sure it is the best for my needs. I have 2 physical servers. I use one to host my "production" vms. The second to host my lab vms. I do not need to be able to vmotion between the 2 hypervisors. Storage is internal drives with the possibility of procuring a NAS in a few months for NFS. I need to be able to snapshot vms. I would like to clone as well, but that is not a deal breaker. Would the vSphere Essentials Kit work for my needs? How does the 1 year subscription term work? Will the software stop working after 1 year?
Any information would be appreciated.
