vSphere 6 Enterprise for 2 processors, with 1 Year Support
This item comes with licenses for servers with two processors. If your server has only one processor, please contact our sales team for a specialized quote.
VMware vSphere, the industry-leading server virtualization platform, lets you virtualize applications with confidence
Compute
- vSphere ESXi: A robust, high-performance virtualization layer that abstracts server hardware resources and makes them shareable by multiple virtual machines.
- Distributed Resources Scheduler (DRS): Aligns compute resources with business priorities through automatic load balancing across hosts. Optimizes power consumption by turning off hosts during lower load periods.
- vMotion: Eliminates application downtime due to planned server maintenance by migrating live virtual machines between hosts, across clusters, distributed switches, vCenter Servers and over long distances of up to 100 ms RTT.
- Big Data Extensions: Runs Hadoop workloads on vSphere to achieve higher utilization, reliability and agility.
- NVIDIA GRID vGPU: GRID vGPU brings the full benefit of NVIDIA hardware-accelerated graphics to virtualized solutions.
Network
- Network I/O Control: Lets you define priority access to network resources according to established business rules.
- Distributed Switch: Centralizes network provisioning, administration and monitoring using data center-wide network aggregation.
Availability
- High Availability:Delivers high availability across your entire virtualized IT environment without the cost or complexity of traditional clustering solutions.
- Fault Tolerance: Provides continuous availability for applications (up to 4-vCPUs) with zero data loss in the event of server failures.
- Data Protection: Delivers storage-efficient backups through patented variable-length deduplication, rapid recovery and WAN-optimized replication for DR.
- Replication: Eliminates third-party replication costs through built-in vSphere replication.
Automation
- Auto Deploy: Allows you to deploy and patch vSphere hosts in minutes.
- Host Profiles: Lets you create a profile once and then use it to configure multiple vSphere hosts.
- Update Manager: Reduces time spent on routine remediation by automating the tracking, patching and updating of vSphere hosts.
- Content Library: Manage VM templates, vApps, ISO images and scripts with ease from a central repository.
Management
- vCenter Server: Provides centralized management for the vSphere platform.
- vRealize Orchestrator: Lets you assemble workflows using an easy drag-and-drop interface.
- Explore vSphere with Operations Management: Delivers vSphere optimized with capacity and performance management capabilities.
Security
- vShield Endpoint: Eliminates anti-virus footprints in virtual machines and improves AV scan performance by offloading functions to a security virtual appliance.
Storage
- Storage DRS: Provides smart virtual machine placement and load-balancing based on I/O latency and storage capacity.
- Virtual Volumes: Enables abstraction for external storage (SAN and NAS) devices making them VM-aware.
- Storage-Policy Based Management: Allows common management across storage tiers and dynamic storage class of service automation via a policy-driven control plane.
- Storage vMotion: Performs non-disruptive storage migration, eliminates virtual machine storage and I/O bottlenecks and frees up valuable storage capacity.
- Storage I/O Control: Prioritizes storage access by continuously monitoring I/O storage loads and dynamically allocating available I/O resources to virtual machines according to business needs.
- VMFS: Simplifies virtual machine provisioning and administration with a high-performance cluster file system optimized for virtual machines.
- Storage Thin Provisioning: Increases virtual machine storage utilization through dynamic allocation and intelligent provisioning of physical storage capacity.
- Storage APIs: APIs enhance storage awareness, data protection and array integration and let you leverage multi-pathing capabilities from third-party storage vendors.
- Flash Read Cache: Virtualizes server side flash providing a high performance read cache layer that dramatically lowers application latency.
Cloud API Integration
- OpenStack API Integration: Leverage VMware Integrated OpenStack with your existing vSphere expertise and infrastructure to provide developers with OpenStack API's.
