vcenter over more locations
Hi Experts,
I have now 3 datacenter in different locations.
On the first one I have a vmware datacenter.
Now I gonna build a second one.
Is it possible to have just one vcenter over all locations ?
Or do I need a vcenter server in each datacenter ?

If you have vSphere Essentials, you will only be licensed for three hosts.
You will need to purchase vSphere Standard per CPU per Host, and a copy of vCenter Server Standard.

You will need to discuss that with your VMware Account Manager, as vSphere Essentials is not usually upgradeable!

I have now one data-center with 3 hosts in one vmware cluster.
For the second data-center I have bought from DELL a VRTX with two hosts.
What do you think is the best setup ?
Should I put all hosts in cluster ?
Or is it better to create a seperate cluster just for the two hosts ?
