vCloud Suite Enterprise

Anyone take a close look at what products are available when your company purchase vCloud Suite Enterprise? You get the following:

vSphere
vCenter
vDP
vCO
vCD
vCNS
SRM
vCOPs
Hyperic
vCIN
vCM
vCAC
AppD
Big Data
AppHA

That's a lot of stuff. Granted most places won't use vDP and vCD/vCNS are going away, but that's still a lot of products for VMware admins to get familiar with.

Still gotta be careful though. Take vCAC. Whilst you get the licnse, you will only be licensed for onpremise environments really. What I mean is, you won't be able to connect to other cloud services (vCHS etc. ) unless you also add a vCAC standalone licence. Only this will give you Endpoints to connect to external cloud services.

I think

So it is. Bottom line, read the small print of the products you require

I'm just little overwhelmed by all the stuff we need to know.

I am already struggling to keep up. All that renaming doesn't help. I still remember the old ESX3 days. ESX, vCenter and the painful license server. Having said that. A 2.5 host was the most stable one we had with almost 2.5 years uptime when we 'found it' again (or remembered the login because we had to kill a VM process).

They're obviously trying to feed a lot of mouths to keep market share in the current landscape. I think after the dust from the "cloud" storm settles, they'll reel it back in, but for now this is what you're going to deal with the next few years.

A lot of products, but I don't think a lot of shops will use everything nor will any one person be expected to be an expert on each item. A guy working on the app level stuff probably isn't going too deep into infra side and vice versa.

As a cutting edge consumer of the vCloud Suite Enterprise (put it this way we have had more than one change to products carried out because of our input) we are only using the following infrastructure

vSphere
vCenter
vCO
vCD
vCNS
SRM
vCOPs
vCAC
AppD

Not bad for a team of 7 of us
