What version of vSphere/license is for me?

We have a physical server with 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2640 (eachwith 6 x 2.50 GHz) CPU & 96 GB of RAM. We would like the server to run ESXi 5 and hosting 4 virtual machines.

I think that 'free' ESXi V5 allows us only to affect up to 32 GB of RAM (for all virtual machines?). Therefore, looks like we need to buy 'VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' - but I think it does that of 3 guests, max 2 processors/host & 192 GB of VRAM.

We have 4 guests - is possible to buy 2 kits of "VMware vSphere Essentials" for the same physical server? If not, what version/vSphere license do we buy?

Thanks for your advice.

Can you please clarify what you need? 4 VM 4 ESXi hosts (or both)?

If it's only 4 VM on the host, then you are right, you must e.g. vSphere Essentials and must also deploy a vCenter Server/Appliance, because the right to vRAM (6 x 32GB) is pooled by vCenter Server.

  • What version of vSphere to buy for our company?

    Hi guys,.

    I hope someone could help me.

    We are a small company of 20 users running ESXi

    1 IBM host with 2 physical Sockets 4 cores per socket IBM x3560M2 with 2 x CPU E5520.

    3 VM 1 x SBS2008, 1 x MS Server 2008 running SQL 2005, 1 x MS Enterprise Server 2003

    Is one of the main things we want to be able to back up virtual machines without disconnect them all the time, we started watching a Veeam solution but we need to allow the ESXi server, so now I want just a basic license so it can work.

  • I have my product key, but what version I am license for? -Want to re - install

    Hello.  I have a valid 25-character product key for Windows Vista - but do not know what version.
    I want to reinstall a laptop but the license under the laptop sticker is very 'dirty' I can only see the product key of 25 characters and the words "Windows Vista XXXX" but do not know if his home, business or Ultimate.

    Is there a site Web/link that I can put my product key, then they can tell me what version I am licensed?
    P.S. Someone formatted the laptop to test to try Windows 7, it's why I don't know what version I am licensed.

    Kind regards

    There is no website to check.

    This Turorial tells you what to do; Simply type the product key.
    All versions of vista are on the good MS Vista DVD.
    The product key determines what is installed.
    Read the info here to the elder Geek:

    http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/vista_clean_installation.htm

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/images/Vista%20Clean%20Installation/Vista%20Final%20-0019.jpg

    Type your product key in the installation.

    Once more, it's time for the product key and activation talk. Unlike XP and previous offers of Windows that stopped dead if you do not have a product key, it is no longer the case with Vista. You are not required to enter a key at this stage, although there are a few caveats set out on the potential of data loss if you choose not to enter the key. There is also a checkbox to select or not Vista will be automatically activated.
    If you have chosen not to enter the product key in the previous step, this screen will appear asking you to confirm that you do not want to enter the key. The same warning of potential data loss is present and an additional warning was added that you may need to purchase another edition of Vista if you continue without entering the key. Press [Yes] to return to the screen where the key can be entered. Select [No] will take you to the screen below.
    Refusing to enter the product key in the previous step brings you here where you need to select the edition of Windows that you purchased. The warning says clearly that if you select a version, you do not have a key, you must either purchase this version or reinstall Vista and select the appropriate version. This screen is a two-step process; Select the appropriate version and certifying then you have selected the version of Vista by using the checkbox. Once these two items are completed, the [next] button is activated.

    See you soon.

  • What version of flash is best for the brush strokes?

    Hello

    I wonder what version of flash has the best brush strokes. I use CS6, and she constantly changing my shots. I've heard that old versions of flash have better brush strokes.

    I'm an animator, and the Brush tool is something that I use constantly. I could have access to flash CS3 or CS4, and I heard that CS3 is pretty close to the version of macromedia.

    I heard toon boom animate is amazing, but when I tried, there is no vector lines. Or maybe I am doing something wrong, but my features in toon boom animate are pixelated.

    I'm basically looking for one version of flash software or another, which has a Brush tool when I shoot, that's what I wanted to draw and don't change my shots. (By the way, I do animation frame-by-frame)

    Thank you

    Porter

    If you are planning an upgrade, Flash Professional CC 20141 comes with custom brushes, using which you can custom-make a brush for your drawing needs. You can learn more about this at:

  • What version of Java is approved for JRun4 with CF9.01

    We use CF9.01 on 64-bit Linux with JRun4 and Apache, with the included JRE 1.6.17 or almost. I found no published list of Adobe approved for each platform Java versions, but we can move to a Java 7 software development kit for example?

    Given that we live as "server busy, too error number of concurrent requests that we bad to eradicate, could get rid of JRun and moving to TomCat be a wise thing to do?"

    Adobe are officially supported CF8 and CF9 with Java dev kit 1.6.0_24:

  • What version of Acrobat is necessary for a CS4 master ACE?

    Hi people, I have not found this answer anywhere else if someone could tell me: appealed the certification Design Master CS4 Acrobat X or Acrobat 9 ACE? Or is either accepted?

    Thank you!

    I guess the current version of the Acrobat application, which would be Acrobat X. That's what seem to indicate Certification pages on the Web site. I searched in the search, but couldn't find contact information.

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/certification/ACE.html

    The truth is, you probably should certify you in CS5 because applications are already at CS5.5

  • Re: What version of BIOS uses Equium A200 - 15l

    Can someone tell me what version of Bios the Satellite A200 - 15l use it please, and it is available at d/l?

    Do you mean the version that is already installed on this satellite?
    Or did you mean the version that is available on the European driver Toshiba page?

    If you want to find out which version is installed on this laptop then access the BIOS and you will see the version number.
    You must press the F2 key immediately after the laptop has been launched to access the BIOS.

    But if you want to know what version of BIOS is available for download then check first the series Equium (label at the bottom of the unit) and then choose it in the European driver Toshiba page.
    I assume that it belongs to the series of PSAE2.
