@AnisGenex,

vSphere+ is a centralized management platform for integrating vSphere On-Prem platforms and vSphere Cloud instances such as VMC on AWS. It provides the capability of a Cloud Console to manage all the vCenter instances, see metrics, resource utilization, etc.

vSphere on the other hand is the suite we usually refer made of vCenter + ESXi from where you can manage your SDDC entirely. Hope this is clear. Here a solution brief doc from vSphere+: https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/docs/vmware-vsphere-plus-solution-...

In short?

vSphere+ is the subscription variant of vSphere with a couple of additions that tend to fit with VCF (VMware Cloud Foundation). It is essentially vSphere Enterprise Plus with the Kubernetes bits enabled (Tanzu Kubernetes Grid & Tanzu Integrated Services) and the SaaS bits (like Tanzu Mission Control Essentials).

For an exact feature by feature comparison see the vSphere Pricing Whitepaper.

Spoiler
 

With vSphere+ license should we need to take On-prime vCenter license further?
