Customer of vCenter CapacityIQ with an active support and subscription (SnS) contract, are entitled to upgrade to the vCenter Operations Management Suite Advanced edition free of charge. The advantage of this entitlement, is to access not only an enhanced set of capacity management features, but also benefit from analytics-based performance management capabilities and a new operations management dashboard only available in vCenter Operations.
