|
|
|
Reduce storage needs by utilizing dynamic storage that expands to meet the requirements of the virtual machine with no performance degradation.
|
 |
|
|
|
Reduce time spent on routine remediation by automating the tracking, patching and updating of your vSphere hosts, as well as the VM's applications and operating systems.
|
|
|
|
|
Protect your data through fast agent-less backups to disk, with de-duplication to minimize use of backup disk space.
|
Sold Separately for this Edition |
|
|
|
Minimize downtime with automated restart of your VMs following physical machine failure.
|
|
|
|
|
Eliminate application downtime from planned server maintenance by migrating running VMs between hosts.
|
|
|
|
|
Achieve scalable backup without disrupting applications or users by leveraging supported 3rd party backup software that leverage these APIs.
|

|
|
|
|
Virtual Serial Port Concentrator
Connect over the network via the serial port concentrator to the serial port console on any server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hot Add
Increase capacity by adding CPU and memory to virtual machines when needed without disruption or downtime.
|
|
|
|
|
Simplify security management by configuring and maintaining your multiple zones of security within software among shared hosts rather than across separate siloed physical environments.
|
|
|
|
|
Provide continuous availability for applications with zero data loss in the event of server failures.
|
|
|
|
|
Improve performance and scalability by leveraging efficient array-based operations.
|

|
vStorage APIs for Multipathing
Improve performance and reliability of IO from vSphere to storage by leveraging third party storage vendor multi-path software capabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
Avoid application downtime for planned storage maintenance by migrating live VM disk files across storage arrays.
|
|
|
|
|
Align resources usage with business priority by automatically load balancing across hosts and optimize power consumption by turning off hosts during lower load periods.
|
|
|
|
|
Prioritizes storage access by continuously monitoring I/O load of a storage volume and dynamically allocating available I/O resources to virtual machines according to business needs.
|
|
|
|
|
Prioritizes network access by continuously monitoring I/O load over the network and dynamically allocating available I/O resources to specific flows according to business needs.
|
|
|
|
|
Centralize provisioning, administration, and monitoring using cluster-level network aggregation.
|
|
|
|
|
Simplify host deployment and compliance by creating VMs from configuration templates.
