• Number of Host 3 in the vSAN Cluster

• Each Server has 2 Socket & 8 Core Per Socket
• TiBs per ESXi Host 12
• TiBs in vSAN Cluster 36

vSphere Foundation: Though the number of cores is 8 on each CPU, customers must purchase 96 cores because
the minimum subscription capacity is 16 cores per CPU and there are 2 CPUs on each of the 3 ESXi hosts.

vSAN Cluster vSAN: Though the number of TiBs is 36, customers must purchase 48 because the minimum subscription capacity is
8 TiBs per CPU and there are 2 CPUs on each of the 3 ESXi hosts.

vSphere Foundation with vSAN Add-on

• Number of Host 3 in the vSAN Cluster

• Each Server has 1 Socket & 6 Core Per Socket
• TiBs per ESXi Host 9.012
• TiBs in vSAN Cluster 27.036

vSphere Foundation: Though the number of cores is 6 on each CPU, customers must purchase 48 because the
minimum subscription capacity is 16 cores per CPU

vSAN Cluster There is 1 CPU on each of the 3 ESXi hosts. vSAN: Subscription capacity is the total number of TiBs x number of
ESXi hosts in each vSAN cluster

23
vSphere Foundation with vSAN Add-on

• Number of Host 3 in the vSAN Cluster

• Each Server has 2 Socket & 24 Core Per Socket
• TiBs per ESXi Host 60
• TiBs in vSAN Cluster 180

vSphere Foundation: Subscription capacity is the total number of cores × number of CPUs × number of ESXi hosts.
vSAN: Subscription capacity is the total number of TiBs x number of ESXi hosts in each vSAN cluster.

vSAN Cluster

vSphere Foundation with vSAN Add-on

• Number of Host 4 in the vSAN Cluster

• Each Server has 2 Socket & 20 Core Per Socket
• TiBs per ESXi Host 4.803
• TiBs in vSAN Cluster 19.212

vSphere Foundation: Subscription capacity is the total number of cores × number of CPUs × number of ESXi hosts.
vSAN: Though the number of TiBs is 19.212, customers must purchase 64 because the minimum subscription
capacity is 8 TiBs per CPU, and there are 2 CPUs on each of the 4 ESXi hosts.

VCF with vSAN Add-on

• Number of Host 3 in the vSAN Cluster

• Each Server has 2 Socket & 8 Core Per Socket
• TiBs per ESXi Host 12
• TiBs in vSAN Cluster 36

VCF: Though the number of cores is 8 on each CPU, customers must purchase 96 cores because the minimum
subscription capacity is 16 cores per CPU and there are 2 CPUs on each of the 3 ESXi hosts.

vSAN Cluster vSAN: Customers will receive 96 TiBs of vSAN, which naturally meets the license minimums (8 TiBs per CPU) and
exceeds their desired amount of capacity (36 TiBs).
