- per TiB license metric; Licensed TiBs; VMware vSAN (TiB); vSAN TiB license; vSAN add-on capacity
- Definition
- Superseded: duplicates the current row for this metric. Software is subscription software licensed on a per TiB license metric. TiB means a unit of physical storage capacity that is equal to 2^40 bytes. (VMware vSAN SPD February 2026 §2.)
- Counting rules
- Customer must license all raw physical storage that is claimed by Software on all the Servers in the vSAN Cluster. Customer may use Software in Clusters for up to the number of TiBs for which Customer has paid the applicable license fees. Cluster is a software grouping of Servers running vSphere and/or vSAN for the purpose of resource sharing. Software may only be used as an add-on to active subscriptions to VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware Telco Cloud Platform, and VMware vSphere Foundation, or licenses to legacy vSphere and VCF products sold prior to December 13th, 2023 with a valid Support and Subscription agreement (legacy add-on right ceases at SnS expiration/termination). (vSAN SPD February 2026 §2.)
- Floors / minimums
- No per-Processor Core floor on the purchased vSAN add-on metric itself. Included entitlement floors follow the Core floor of the parent VCF/VVF/VCFE subscription. The SPD does not state a TiB rounding rule.
