Download 2 vApp for the advanced edition why ?

[tienlamnguyen]

I wanted to try out the advanced edition and eventually initiatiate a POC of the enterprise version. but when I go to the download portal I am greeted with two vAPP download

1 for vCenter operations and 1 for capacity IQ. In my views this is not very efficient because I have to navigate between two applications. Is there any plans to consolidate de two applications into one unique vApp ?

Also, according to maketing docs - the enterprise version include vCM. So does that means 3 applications also ?

That is correct. vCenter Operations Advanced edition is currently a bundle consisting of Standard edition and CapacityIQ. Our intent is to further integrate these capabilities so they can be delivered as a single VA in the future so you could move up from one edition to the next by simply switching a license key. Same applies to Enterprise edition.
