We are finally considering purchasing VMWare software/license to run some of our servers. I'm a new to virtualize servers. So here are my questions. We are considering the VMware vSphere Standard 1 Processor 3yr E-LTU from HP. Here's what I need to know:
- Do we need this particular software/license if we only have one physical server with two processors?
- Do we need vCenter to manage our multiple virtual servers if we only have one physical server?
- If we need vCenter to manage all of our vritual servers in one machine, what's the license cost?
- What's the difference between vSphere and vCenter? Do I need both to run my virtual servers within one physical machine?
Any help is much appreciated.
