Get an overview of licensing, pricing, and packaging for vRealize Suite and vCloud Suite editions.
A portable license unit (PLU) gives you the flexibility to manage workloads regardless of whether they are on vSphere on premises, third-party hypervisors, physical servers or supported public clouds. There is no license switching or conversion required.
vRealize Suite is a single, integrated solution with a single license that does not break down into individual licenses for each component. Upgrades are available between vRealize Suite editions.
However, vRealize Suite Standard and Advanced edition customers who require application-level monitoring have the option to purchase the VMware vRealize Operations Application Monitoring Add-On™. The add-on extends vRealize Suite to monitor applications and databases. Third-party management packs may be required for this functionality.
The vRealize Suite Hands-on Lab and vCloud Suite Hands-on Lab are free evaluations that allow you to test-drive their full technical capabilities from your browser, with no installation required.
