VMware vSphere

VMware vSphere 4

vSphere is a distributed software system with features enabled by a management server, the vCenter Server, working together with one or more ESX or ESXi hypervisors. The combination of features available with vSphere allow you to offer the highest levels of availability and responsiveness for all applications and services in your virtual environment. Optimize IT service delivery and deliver the highest levels of application service agreements with the lowest total cost per application workload by decoupling your business-critical applications from the underlying hardware for unprecedented flexibility and reliability.

VMware ESX and ESXi Production-Proven Hypervisors

Virtualize even the most resource-intensive applications with the hypervisors that set the industry standard for reliability, performance and cross-platform support.

VMware ESX and VMware ESXi are “bare-metal” hypervisors, meaning they install directly on top of the physical server and partition it into multiple virtual machines that can run simultaneously, sharing the physical resources of the underlying server. Each virtual machine represents a complete system, with processors, memory, networking, storage and BIOS, and can run an unmodified operating system and applications.

Reliably Run Multiple Operating Systems on a Single Server

Deploy mature hypervisor technology that has been proven in tens of thousands of customer environments. The bare metal architecture of VMware ESX and ESXi delivers hardware like reliability to your applications. Built in high availability features such as NIC teaming and storage access multipathing protect your virtual machines against hardware component failures, while the advanced security features ensure a secure computing environment.
