I don’t want to say Veeam Plugin will cause problems! But to operate a vCenter Plugin you need to take more into account: for example compatibility.Īnd then I have to ask: is it worth it? For large installation such a Plugin most often is not very interesting (scalability, compatibility). I have seen many vCenter that were near unusable because of failed or not working Plugins. So on the one hand it would be nice to have vCenter Plugin working with VBR Server directly.īut on the other hand: I personally do not like vCenter Plugins. Just when their is a need for one of its features (self service restore, lost password protection). I personally do not deploy Enterprise Manger very often. I don’t mean that from a technical perspective but just from a usability standpoint. Ultimately it just feels that VBEM is unnecessary for VBR & vCenter integration. Granted there are some scenarios whereby you can quite safely configure instances to not cannibalise each other on the same box/VM, I just avoid this. My SQL Server background always says no to multiple SQL instances due to the nature of the software and it’s demand for resource. As they’re also starting to embrace more of the cloud they require less on-prem VMs that then skew the cost/benefit for DC licensing. I actually see most of the SMB space still on Windows Server Standard edition, which is actually the audience I’m targeting this request at, as they’re the ones that would like a single pane of glass experience without throwing in VBEM as the majority of the features will go unused by them.

If it is about combining roles, could just install a second SQL Express instance on the same box :) Do you often see end customers paying per Windows license? In my experience, almost everyone unless very small, purchase data center licenses and so having another VM makes no difference from a licensing perspective.
