VMware vSphere
VMware vSphere delivers a powerful, flexible, and secure foundation for business agility that accelerates digital transformation to hybrid cloud and success in the digital economy. vSphere allows organizations to virtualize with confidence, redefine availability and simplify the virtual data center. As an on-demand infrastructure that is the ideal foundation for any cloud environment, vSphere maintains day-to-day business operations while still having time to invest in new strategic projects that can yield longer-term efficiencies to help the business grow.
What You Need to Know
vSphere helps users run, manage, connect and secure your applications in a common operating environment across the hybrid cloud. By abstracting each operating system from the hardware, it allows administrators to provision new applications and accelerate change request response times from hours, days or weeks to just minutes. VMware vSphere can even cut costs by utilizing virtualization technology for storage, server and networking resources to reduce business expenses by 50% or more (per application). These cost savings are realized through reducing hardware, energy and maintenance costs, while VMware vSphere enables the remaining investments to be utilized efficiently.
vSphere is the core of a secure SDDC, securing applications, data, infrastructure, and access. Advanced security capabilities fully integrated into the hypervisor and powered by machine learning, provide better visibility, protection and faster response time for security incidences.
Why Upgrade to vSphere 7.0?
VMware vSphere 7 delivers essential services for the modern hybrid cloud with improvements in productivity for IT administrators using simplified lifecycle management and intrinsic security. It turbocharges the computing environment for modern applications, AI/ML, and business critical applications using the cloud as its operating model. vSphere 7 is available in Standard and Enterprise Plus editions. There are also special editions designed for remote offices and branch offices (ROBO) and scale-out computing (SCALE-OUT).
Kubernetes
VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes, available through VMware Cloud Foundation, delivers services and application-focused management for streamlined development, agile operations, and accelerated innovation.
- Build your hybrid cloud infrastructure faster. vSphere 7 is the building block of modern cloud infrastructure.
- Simplify software patching and hardware upgrades. vSphere Lifecycle Manager enables you to discover, manage and upgrade VMware software and firmware from vSphere or REST API.
- Secure audits and account management. Identity Federation delivers seamless enterprise and multi-factor authentication.
- Tighten physical infrastructure security. vSphere Trust Authority provides the building blocks for attestable hardware-based trust and security.
- Take on AI/ML workload demands in real-time. vSphere 7 lets you create a shared pool of GPUs for higher device utilization and cost savings.
