Vmware VSphere 6 and Operations Management Enterprise Acceleration Kit

There is a lot that I like about Vmware VSphere 6 and Operations Management Enterprise Acceleration Kit. It is a very capable server virtualization platform. In the past, IT Departments struggled with server sprawl. Every server-based application was supposed to run on its own server. With vSphere, you can run multiple virtual servers on a single, physical computer, even if the virtual servers are running different operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux. vSphere lets you take snapshots of the virtual servers when needed to allow the option for rolling back to a previous state (helpful for things like testing out patches without having to make the change permanent). vSphere also allows you to create templates of of virtual servers that can be used to create new virtual servers pre-configured and patched. You can also clone active virtual servers which is useful when you are looking to upgrade an application and need to test it while still maintaining the active production environment. With add-ons such as vCenter, you can further extend the capabilities to include automated fail-over of virtual servers in the event of a host failure. You can also migrate live, active virtual servers from one host computer to another without impacting users. I could go on and on about the things I like about vSphere. It sits at the heart of my data center and I have designed our data center around it. Not much i don't like here. The licensing can be a bit confusing at times. The product is available in different tiers, such as Essentials, Standard and Enterprise Plus. As you move up from the bottom tier, additional features are added. You need to understand the features at each tier to determine which product you need.

See and manage the different aspects of the server environment like the performance, resources, data stores, storage, and get insights on the Vmware VSphere 6 and Operations Management Enterprise Acceleration Kit before logging into the server. The VMRC or VM Remote Console is a tool that lets you connect and log into the VM from vSphere without the need to use Remote Desktop Connection or any other remote tool to log into the server. Make sure the ESXi host has the hardware requirements to meet the resource needs of the VM guests you plan to manage within vSphere. Make sure the storage needs are met to make available to the VM guests. Once you have your VM guests, datastores, and other things setup within vSphere, monitoring and managing the VM guests can be done with little maintenance to have time to take care of the things that need your time.

VMWare is the best virtualization software, easy to use, feature packed, reliable and rock solid. The free Hypervisor is fully functional, while the paid versions add fault tolerance, clustering, high availability and live migration. Definitely consider using Vmware VSphere 6 and Operations Management Enterprise Acceleration Kit. We have tried other virtualization packages and they are not as polished. For some, we have had stability problems where the VMs or hypervisor crashes!
