Figure 5 Storage Policy options advertised by PS Series
3.5 Licensing
The PS Series licensing policy is all-inclusive. As long as a customer is under a current support contract, they are entitled
to features that are added to the array firmware or the host-side tools. Virtual Volumes requires Virtual Storage
Manager 4.5 and PS Series firmware version 8.0, which is supported on PS Series hardware PS4000 and PS60x0 and
above.
VMware has several tiers of licensing, and Virtual Volumes and Storage Policy-Based Management are available at the
Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus levels. This change in licensing from VMware makes Virtual Volumes available
to a much broader range of customers and environments; it significantly helps drive adoption of virtual volumes in the
industry.
