VxRail support for VMware VSPP licenses
Hello, I was wondering if someone could please answer the question below:
Does VMware VSPP (VMware vcloud SP Bundle - Advanced) licenses work with VxRail?
I did find on Insidedell: https://insidedell.com/message/685034#685034 it mentions "This program now called VCAN will be piloted with VxRail starting end of 2016 and Q1 2017 in North America and globally is successful.
Thanks,

Hi Gary,
We are currently in a limited pilot, working with VMware on being able to offer VxRail as part of the VMware vCAN program. As of today its available only in USA and CANADA and only for the core VMware SW running on VxRail (vCenter, ESXi, and vSAN). All of those SW titles should be included as part a new HCS SW bundle that VMware has created as part of the vCAN SW portfolio. Also, updates should have been made to Usage Meter to allow for tracking the Use of HCS SW vs treating it like individual components.
There is a plan in place for later this year to go fully GA and for VMware to expand the offering to also include vCD and create another software bundle that includes vCD as well as the other HCS software stack that will be available through vCAN. The GA is planned for 1H2017.
If you have any current opportunities in play that you feel may be a fit for the pilot, please let us know. Be happy to get the right folks engaged to help in the transaction process.
