VMware vCloud Usage Meter 4.3 Released!

vCloud Usage Meter version 4.3 has been released. Usage Meter has moved from a on-prem inly to a SaaS+Agent architecture.

VMware vCloud Usage Metere 4.3 is now available!

With this improvement, partners no longer need to update Usage Meter if program changes happen and also don’t need anymore to perform data retention for compliance purposes, because all usage data is stored in the SaaS service.

Usage Meter 4.3 now meets feature parity with UM 3.6.1, so partners can migrate to the latest version without issue! Partners will need to deploy a whole new appliance one last time, but once you are on UM 4.X you can do in-place upgrades going forward.

Now with that version, Usage Meter supports also the following products: NSX-T, vRealize Network Insight, vSphere with Kubernetes, SDDC Manager and VMware Cloud Foundation.
