Hello all,
I hope this is the right place to ask this, but we recently just purchased a new server, and I would like to install VMware on it instead of just a regular OS, for obvious reasons. I've been looking through the site but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly which licence is correct for us, so hopefully someone can help.
Basically we have a machine with 4 processors, 16 cores in each (for a total of 64 cores) along with 512GB of RAM in total. We're based in academia and funding is always a problem for us, so basically what is absolute cheapest licence we could get for VMware? I was looking at the essentials, which seemed great, until I read the licencing and saw that essentials only covers up to 6 core processors, and the documentation itself didn't even mention 16 core processors!
Help?
