VMware ESX Server 1.5
Features | Documentation | Knowledge Base | Discussion Forums
VMware ESX Server now supports up to 64 concurrent virtual machines with adequate memory and storage resources. ESX Server now supports the PAE (physical address extension) standard for larger memory on the physical computer. This version supports system memory up to 64GB of RAM. This release also has support for additional Gigabit Ethernet network cards. VMware ESX Server can now provision up to 3.6GB of RAM per virtual machine Advanced memory management techniques enable you to configure and run virtual machines with total memory greater than the amount of physical RAM on the system. It can be equivalent to putting up to 64GB of additional RAM into your system. New resource management tools enable you to regulate the amount of disk I/O bandwidth used by each virtual machine. VMware ESX Server has passed the rigorous tests for IBM® ServerProven® certification on the IBM eServer xSeries 330, xSeries 350, xSeries 360, xSeries 370 and xSeries 440 server platforms. You can now perform an expanded range of management tasks from the VMware Management Interface, instead of logging in to the console operating system and executing commands at the command line. Take advantage of IBM Director management software on your eServer xSeries systems. Or use Compaq Insight Manager, HP OpenView or another compatible SNMP management application to track the configuration and health of the server and its virtual machines. The expanded VMware Management Interface enables you to monitor and manage your server and virtual machines more effectively using a Web browser and a secure SSL connection between your management workstation and the server. SSH support gives you the option of running a secure terminal application to carry out command line tasks remotely. Access controls enable you to determine which users have access to virtual disk files stored on VMFS partitions.
