Server Virtualization Software vSphere
Power your computing environment for modern applications using any combination of virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes with VMware vSphere, the industry’s leading server virtualization software.
Use your existing vSphere environment to bring efficiency, scale and security to Kubernetes deployments and operations by dropping in enterprise-grade Kubernetes clusters in under an hour.
Scale your infrastructure to support up to 50% more hosts per cluster. Meet the demands of high performance apps, monster VMs and memory intensive databases, including SAP HANA, EPIC and more.
Simplify lifecycle management, by making maintenance of software upgrades, patching and firmware updates easier and less disruptive. Manage both on premises and off premises in a single interface.
Incorporate GPUs to deliver AI/ML infrastructure and make protecting your hybrid cloud infrastructure easier with intrinsic security.
Deliver elastic infrastructure for AI/ML applications using cloud pools of hardware accelerators such as GPUs.
Manage your remote and branch offices with little or no local IT staff. Enable rapid provisioning of servers, minimization of host configuration drift and visibility into regulatory compliance across multiple sites.
Simplify big data infrastructure management and minimize downtime with uniform, cost-effective failover protection. Plus, easily organize, prioritize and share data center resources for intelligent decision making.
Get insights faster with infrastructure on demand, centralized management, data governance and control of sensitive data. The scale-out edition of vSphere is custom built with high performance computing workloads.
