Hi, I have been comparing the differences between the advanced and enterprise editions on this page http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vcenter-operations-management/compare-editions.html and i have the following questions:
Both advanced and enteprise include Hyperic, but only enterprise has the option "Monitoring of Microsoft OS, middleware, applications and Oracle databases**" Is this not what Hyperic does anyway? What exactly is the difference between the 2 if Hyperic is included in both editions?
Advanced has an option saying "Extensible to 3rd party datasources". Does this mean i can use 3rd party adapters such as one from LiquidwareLabs or do I need enterprise edition?
If i purchase enterprise edition does that include the functionality needed for monitoring VMware View or do i need to purchase ops mgr for view in addition?
Thanks
