FAQ’s
Q A When can I start with VSPP 3.0?
The operational “go live” is planned on December 1 st .
Q How does the metering software work?
A
When the program goes live, there will be several webinars, user guides and Insight support available.
Q What will change in pricing A
For a VSPP 2.0 agreement nothing will change. For VSPP 3.0 agreements pricing is not yet final. Due to the different way of calculating usage (VRam vs VM), the wider product range (easier to reach higher commit) and discounted point (View premier), your actual spend could be a lot lower!
Q I’m not yet a VSPP partner, but would like to start. Should I wait for VSPP 3.0 or start right away?
A
Unless you only want to use the new products you can start today (with VSPP 2.0) and sign up for the same commit under VSPP 3.0 once it’s live end of Q4. This way you can start hosting with VSphere products right away!
