Hi

Looking at Veeam Essentials

On the sockets, what do they count it against as each host I user has 2 Processor Sockets with 6 Core Per Sockets.

I have 2 Hosts

Would I need to go for 4 Sockets or the 24 Cores(4 Processors x6 Cores each)

Cheers

Veeam licencing is based on processor sockets. So you have 2 CPUs for each host, so your minimum would be 4 sockets.

Think that’s the 2 x 2 Socket bundle for Veeam Essentials.

That setup is pretty much what I’m implementing as I type this.

Andrew is spot on here. We license our product based on number of physical sockets source hosts have. In your case, it would be 4 sockets, and you would need a license covering that number.

In addition, it seems to be a perfect time to take a look at our special promo and save 33% on Veeam Backup Essentials .

Thanks.

Interesting thing I discovered is I have a 3 servers running VMware for a total of 5 processors. Not thinking that one of servers that has 2 processors is really sitting as a hot spare and not running anything that is getting backed up I bought 5 processor licenses. Veeam is only using 3 licences because it’s only backing up 2 servers with a total of 3 processors. Now I will qualify this with I’ve only been using Veeam for a 1 month and haven’t needed to move productions servers to that hot spare yet so I don’t know what happens then but its something to consider or talk to you Veeam rep about if you are in the VM world.

Be nice if that offer was valid for Australia or Asia / Pacific region as well.
