Get the benefits of the cloud for on-premises workloads. vSphere supercharges performance, enhances operational efficiency and accelerates innovation.
Transform on-premises infrastructure with cloud integration. Boost productivity with central management, global insights and automation. Power up with add-on cloud services.
Meet the throughput and latency needs of distributed workloads by accelerating networking functions on the DPU. Free up GPU resources for faster AI/ML model training and higher complexity models.
Provide optimal workload placement by factoring in DRAM and PMEM bandwidth and latency requirements. Reduce your IT maintenance window by performing simultaneous ESXi upgrades on multiple hosts.
Easily access developer services through a cloud console. Improve the resilience of containerized workloads and increase deployment flexibility with custom images and Pinniped-based authentication.
Bring benefits of the cloud to on-premises by deploying high-value cloud services to easily build, run, manage, and secure traditional and next-gen applications.
Enable IT administrators to consolidate management of all vSphere deployments with the vSphere+ Cloud Console.
Run the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid service directly on vSphere to simplify operation of Kubernetes on-premises.
Supercharge performance by offloading security and networking functions from the CPUs to Data Processing Units (DPUs).
Update an entire fleet of ESXi hosts in one operation, across multiple vCenters and clusters, and centrally monitor progress from the Cloud Console.
Allow DevOps teams to leverage intuitive UIs and developer-friendly APIs for simplified IaaS services across the vSphere fleet.
Enhance the performance of large AI/ML workloads with support for up to 16 vGPUs per VM, 32 passthrough devices per VM, and the deployment of NVLink and NVSwitch technology.
Monitor and optimize the capacity needed to run workloads across the entire vSphere fleet. Plan capacity for future infrastructure and workload demands.
Leverage this central hub for simplified management of Kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds. Decrease deployment time and increase DevOps velocity.
Track power consumed at the host and VM levels. Uncover opportunities to optimize consumption and make contributions to your organization’s sustainability goals.
Get the enterprise-grade data center, cloud and edge infrastructure you need for advanced AI/ML services and workloads.
Modernize virtual infrastructure by using DPUs to accelerate network functions and secure workloads. Run distributed workloads like event streaming services with lower latency and improved throughput.
Enable a cloud experience that allows developers, DevOps engineers, platform operators, SREs, line-of-business practitioners and other users to independently provision infrastructure services, within limits governed by IT administrators.
Simplify Big Data infrastructure management and minimize downtime with cost-effective, uniform failover protection. Easily prioritize and share data center resources for intelligent decision-making.
Get insights faster with infrastructure on demand, centralized management and data governance, including control of sensitive data. The vSphere HPC option is custom-built to scale with HPC workloads.
Manage remote and branch offices with minimal local IT staff, or even none. Enable rapid provisioning of servers, minimize host configuration drift and gain visibility into compliance across sites.

“With rapid provisioning of servers through virtualization, we can now scale horizontally to handle bursts, and we’ve been able to successfully handle surges.”
— Bipin Jayaraj, CIO
“Virtualization has allowed us to expose core services across our apps in a scalable manner … and completely redefine the user experience.”
— Harmeen Mehta, Global CIO
“Deploying vSphere and vSAN got rid of the legacy three-tier architecture. We adopted a hyperconverged architecture, helping us reduce TCO by 15%.”
— Aket Dingal, Senior Vice President, Head of IT and CISO
