vSphere Enterprise Plus Edition Processor License

vRAM Entitlement

• 96GB

ESXi

• Provides a robust, production-proven, high-performance virtualization layer

VC Agent

• Connects ESXi with the vCenter Server

vSMP

• 32-Way - Virtual symmetric multi-processing (SMP) enables virtual machines to have multiple virtual CPUs

Update Manager

• Automates the tracking, patching and updating of vSphere server hosts, as well as the VM’s applications and operating systems

VMFS 5

• Allows virtual machines to access shared storage and enables features like vSphere Storage vMotion

Storage APIs for Data Protection

• Support for 3rd party software to backup VMs via APIs without disrupting applications or users, or causing backup task overhead

High Availability

• Automatically restarts your VMs following physical machine failure

Thin Provisioning

• Dynamic storage that expands to meet VM requirements with no performance degradation and reduce storage needs

Data Recovery

• Protect your data through fast agent-less backups to disk, with de-duplication to minimize use of backup disk space

vMotion

• Eliminate application downtime from planned server maintenance by migrating running VMs between hosts

Hot Add

• Increase capacity by adding CPU and memory to virtual machines when needed without disruption or downtime

Fault Tolerance

• Provide continuous uninterrupted availability for applications with zero data loss in the event of server failures

vSheild^TM Zones

• Simplify security management by configuring and maintaining your multiple zones of security within software among shared hosts rather than across separate siloed physical environments

Storage vMotion

• Avoid application downtime for planned storage maintenance by migrating live VM disk files across storage arrays

Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Distributed Power Management (DPM)

• Automatically load balance across hosts and optimize power consumption by turning off hosts during lower load periods

Storage APIs for Array Integration and Multipathing

• Improve performance and scalability by leveraging efficient array-based operations

Virtual Serial Port Concentrator

• Connect over the network via the serial port concentrator to the serial port console on any server

Distributed Switch

• Centralize provisioning, administration, and monitoring using cluster-level network aggregation

Host Profiles

• Simplify host deployment and compliance by creating VMs from configuration templates

Network I/O Control

• Prioritizes network access by monitoring network I/O load and allocating I/O resources to traffic types according to business needs

Storage I/O Control

• Prioritizes storage access by monitoring I/O load of a storage volume and dynamically allocating available I/O resources to priority VMs

Profile-Driven Storage

• Reduce the steps in the selection of storage resources by grouping storage according to a user-defined policy

Storage DRS

• Automated load balancing now looks at storage characteristics to determine the best place for a given virtual machine’s data to live when it is created and then used over time

Auto Deploy

• Deploy more vSphere hosts in minutes and “on the fly”
