VMware adds subscription version of basic vSphere for server consolidation
The new product comes with an attractively priced offer: if users convert their 32-core perpetual licences to subscriptions, they'll be offered 32 cloudy cores at the cost of 16. VMware clearly wants you to sign up for years of this offer, because upon first renewal the price will revert to the 32-core fee.
VMware does not reveal the price of vSphere+ – neither the Enterprise edition announced earlier this year nor the new Standard+ edition.Yet a subscription service may be attractive because it's entirely feasible that a VMware shop could have several instances of it in many smaller offices. A subscription that covers those offices and offers a single cloudy console to manage them all could make life easier for many vAdmins.
We won't know if it works out, either. Since Broadcom announced its intention to acquire VMware, the virtualization giant doesn't stage earnings calls on which financial analysts question its execs – all we get is a press release and financial data. But vSphere+ Standard edition is very much in line with both VMware's stated plans to introduce subscription editions of its wares, and Broadcom's pledge to move more customers to subscriptions. ®
