• 50% reduction in the mean time to resolution and quick remediation.
• 93% reduction in unplanned downtime through intelligent insights.
• Integrated self-service platform for containers and virtual machines, with embedded Kubernetes.

Hypervisor

  • vSphere Foundation includes VMware's hypervisor, which is the core component that enables virtualization by abstracting physical hardware resources and presenting them to virtual machines (VMs).

vCenter Server

  • This centralized management platform allows administrators to manage their virtual infrastructure efficiently. vCenter Server provides features such as VM provisioning, monitoring, and resource management from a single interface.

vSphere High Availability (HA)

  • HA ensures that VMs remain available in the event of server failures by automatically restarting them on healthy hosts within the cluster.

vSphere vMotion

  • This feature enables live migration of VMs between hosts with no downtime, allowing for workload balancing, hardware maintenance, and optimization of resource usage.

vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)

  • DRS automatically balances and optimizes computing resources across a vSphere cluster, ensuring that VMs have access to the resources they need while maximizing overall.

vSphere Update Manager (VUM)

  • VUM automates the process of patching and updating ESXi hosts and VMs, ensuring that the virtual infrastructure remains secure and up-to-date with the latest software patches and updates.

vSphere APIs and SDKs

  • VMware vSphere Foundation includes comprehensive APIs and software development kits (SDKs) that allow for automation, integration, and customization of vSphere management tasks and workflows.

vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA)

  • VMware vSphere Foundation typically includes the vCenter Server Appliance, which is a preconfigured virtual appliance that simplifies the deployment and management of vCenter Server.
