VMware Essentials Plus Kit with VSA Replacement Options

I'm looking for the correct SKU for our 2 Dell host setup.  No SAN but we do have local storage for these 2 identical hosts.  I found VMware Essentials Plus Kit with VSA (VS5-ESV-KIT-C).  However, it appears to be discontinued as of April 1st and VSA was replaced with vSAN.  Is there a new Essentials kit that includes vSAN?  If not, is there a bundle add-on for Essentials?  Called sales but they were pretty much useless for me.

Thanks.

Hi Friend,

  vSAN is alternative to VSA & just for your info, vSAN requires minimum 3 hosts with at-least 1 SSD & 1 HDD per host. If you do not have real SSD, you can tag HDD as SSD by using some commands but its only recommended for testing purpose.

I am not much aware on licenses.
