What is vSphere?
vSphere is the industry-leading compute virtualization platform, and your first step to application modernization. It has been rearchitected with native Kubernetes to allow customers to modernize the 70 million+ workloads now running on vSphere. Now, modern containerized applications can be run alongside existing enterprise applications in a simple and unified manner using vSphere with Tanzu.
