VMware vSphere

VMware vSphere

  • vSphere is highly configurable, which can make it an attractive hypervisor choice for organizations, whether they choose a private cloud, a public cloud, or a multicloud approach. Key components and features of vSphere include:

    • VMware ESXi—Type 1 hypervisor that abstracts processors, memory, storage, and other resources into multiple VMs
    • VMware vCenter Server—Central control point for data center management services, providing a single view of all ESXi hosts
    • VMware vSphere Client—HTML5-based management interface that enables users to remotely connect to VMware vCenter Server
    • VMware vSphere vMotion—Feature that enables live migration for powered-on VMs in the same data center
    • VMware vSphere Storage vMotion—Feature that enables the live migration of virtual disks or configuration files to a new datastore while a VM is running
    • VMware vSphere HA—Services that restart failed VMs on other available servers
