Do you have any doubts?
After March 31st, 2024, your hosting platform will remain active. VMware support will be provided until April 30th, 2024. In April, integration with the new VSCP program will take place, and a new billing model will come into effect, retroactively from May.
To determine core requirements, you can simply check the number of CPU cores in vCenter. Each processor, regardless of the actual number of cores, is billed from a set minimum level, which is 16 cores. If you have trouble estimating your needs, our experts can assist you.
Measurements are conducted using a dedicated tool in your infrastructure, which automatically records the number of cores used and sends the information to Broadcom on a monthly basis. A solution supporting segregated environments is also available.
All productive hosts with at least one virtual machine running are billed. Hosts in maintenance mode, hosts controlled by DPM, or those serving as SRM targets are not considered.
You commit to purchasing a minimum number of cores (16 cores) for a period of 36 months.
Yes, processor cores can be disabled in the BIOS. However, measurements only consider cores visible in vSphere - at least 16 cores per processor.
As a service provider, you have access to the VCF package, which includes a range of products such as vSphere Enterprise+, Aria Suite Enterprise, vSAN Enterprise (1 TiB per Core), NSX Enterprise+, and HCX Enterprise. Additionally, extra solutions like vSAN, SRM, Firewall, and others are available.
Using VCF solutions is not mandatory, but this option provides essential, key licenses.
Stateless Gateway Firewalls are included in VCF. Stateful Gateway Firewalls and Distributed Firewalls are available separately.
Calculations are based on the number of Edge Transport Node cores (VM or Bare-Metal), including HA instances, multiplied by 4.
During the deployment process, we install the core usage measurement tool, update the license keys, and provide training on dedicated solutions.
Our experienced support team is available to assist you with any technical doubts or issues. If a problem cannot be resolved from within the Oktawave organization, the inquiry is directed straight to Broadcom.
