How much Vcenter will cost me ?

Hello , 

 

I have 9 ESXI hosts in three different countries  Belgium,Singapore and USA 

 

I want to install vCenter for all of them  how much it will cost me to do that ? 

 

Another question:

 

For example for High Availability when I have Vcenter for all of them and one of them was crashed ! then what is going to happen ? I mean a Vcenter for three different locations would it work ?  or di I have to have a three separate license ? 


Best Regards

One vCenter is not appropriate to manage hosts in all those locations. Because of how dispersed they are, you'll need three to do this properly.

Yes, I'm sure that one vCenter will not properly manage hosts spread across the planet. It's not a question of licensing but of how well management will work. The only vCenter license you need (for one seat) is vCenter Standard.
