Dynamically optimize the server workloads in your datacenter with VMware Infrastructure.

VMware Infrastructure allows dynamic load balancing and optimal resource utilization in the datacenter by enabling the creation of logical resource pools that are abstracted away from the physical hardware. Virtual machines are then dynamically placed on the most optimal hardware to ensure service levels are met.

View a conceptual overview of how resource pools are created and how DRS uses this concept to balance the load dynamically
