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 ?

ok I see, the latenzy is between 1-5 ms.

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 ?
an error poped up...

this edition is just for 3 hosts :-(
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.
ok I see.
do they also have an upgrade scenario ?
You will need to discuss that with your VMware Account Manager, as vSphere Essentials is not usually upgradeable!
Thanks master.
