Pricing and Packaging Changes, Portable Licensing, End of Availability Announcements
Dear Valued Customer,

Our core compute virtualization and cloud management product lines now consist of VMware vSphere Standard Edition, vSphere Enterprise Plus Edition, VMware vSphere with Operations Management Enterprise Plus Edition, VMware vRealize Suite, and VMware vCloud Suite.
VMware is also introducing a Portable Licensing Unit (PLU) for vRealize Suite and the vRealize Suite component in vCloud Suite.
In addition, we wish to inform you of the end of availability (EOA) of some products in the First Half, 2016.
Please read on for details.

vCloud Suite and vRealize Suite Pricing and Packaging Changes
Effective March 1, 2016, VMware is making changes to vCloud Suite and vRealize Suite to better address customer requirement and use cases.
checkmark-wh vCloud Suite will consist of vRealize Suite and vSphere Enterprise Plus for vCloud Suite. vCloud Suite will continue to have three editions: Standard, Advanced and Enterprise.
checkmark-wh vRealize Suite will be available in three editions: Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise.
VMware vRealize Suite Standard will include full SDDC monitoring, custom dashboard, log analytics, and hybrid cloud comparison and costing features.
VMware vRealize Suite Advanced will include infrastructure automation and cloud business management features, in addition to all the features in the Standard edition.
VMware vRealize Suite Enterprise will include application monitoring and application automation features, in addition to all the features in the Advanced edition.
checkmark-wh VMware Site Recovery Manager will no longer be included in vCloud Suite Enterprise. It will continue to be sold as a standalone product.

As a result of these packaging changes, there will be a nominal decrease in price for vRealize Suite Advanced and Enterprise editions and VMware vCloud Suite Enterprise edition. There will be a nominal increase in price for VMware vCloud Suite Standard and Advanced editions.
Existing vCloud Suite and vRealize Suite customers with active Support and Subscription will be entitled to retain the current features they own with vCloud Suite 6.0 and vRealize Suite 6.0. In addition, customers will be entitled to receive all the additional capabilities available in the 7.0 version.
Please contact your VMware account representative for more information on these changes.

Portable Licensing
A Portable License Unit (PLU) provides you the flexibility to use the same vRealize Suite license type to manage workloads in a vSphere environment or in a non-vSphere environment, such as any VMware supported public cloud, third-party hypervisor, and physical servers. There is no license switching or conversion required.
Specifically, one PLU allows vRealize Suite to manage unlimited virtual machines deployed on one on-premises vSphere CPU or up to 15 Operating System Instances (OSIs) deployed in any non-vSphere environment mentioned above.
Please contact your VMware account representative for additional details on how Portable Licensing applies to your existing vCloud Suite licenses.

On June 30, 2016, VMware will discontinue the availability of VMware vSphere Enterprise Edition, VMware vSphere with Operations Management Standard Edition, and VMware vSphere with Operations Management Enterprise Edition.

Customers will no longer need to purchase public cloud extensions anymore as vCloud Suite 7.0 includes hybrid cloud management as a default functionality.
