Testing VSA - License included in Enterprise Plus?

[hyperbart]

Hi guys

At my work we want to test drive the VSA from VMware with the new release of vSphere 5. We have an Enterprise Plus license available for our vSphere setup, but we would like to know if the VSA is automatically licensed with the Enterprise Plus or if we should acquire a VSA license...

You can find this info @ http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere/vsphere-storage-appliance/faqs.html...

VSA can be purchased standalone or with the vSphere Essentials Plus Storage bundle.VSA is also part of the vSphere evaluation, which is valid for 60 days.

VSA is not part of the enterprise plus .. you will need to purchase it separately. also it's a v1 product and there are quite a few limitations there ..
