- 2. Data Centre Enterprise Computing Solutions – United Kingdom The Impact on Customers Customers in a multi-year contract will see no affect until renewal. On renewal, customers may see an increase on their SnS price. Customers currently using vSOM Standard will have their licensing fulfilled to the individual components (i.e. vSphere Standard and vROps Standard). A special CPU vROps Standard SKU has been created for this so as not to impact existing vSOM Standard customers SnS. These customers can add new licenses to their environment by purchasing vSphere Standard and vROps Standard. Existing, active SnS customers will get the new capabilities, no loss of functionality and a minimal impact to their licenses and SnS costs at renewal.
