For the VMware Per Core metric, what is the minimum number of cores that must be licensed per processor?
- 8 cores
- 12 cores
- 24 cores
- 16 cores
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D
Why this is correct
Per Core licenses the processor cores on a physical host. A minimum of 16 cores must be licensed per processor, even if the processor has fewer cores.
Why the other options are wrong
"8 cores" … The minimum on the page is 16.
"12 cores" … The minimum on the page is 16.
"24 cores" … The minimum on the page is 16.
Key point
A minimum means that many small machines do not cost less. This metric applies to subscription-based vSphere products such as VMware vSphere Standard and vSphere Essentials Plus.
