VMware vSphere is the industry-leading server virtualization platform combining the ESXi hypervisor, vCenter Standard management, vMotion live migration, High Availability, Distributed Resource Scheduler, and Kubernetes runtime across editions.

Top Features

ESXi hypervisor & vCenter

The bare-metal ESXi hypervisor virtualizes server hardware to run multiple isolated VMs, while vCenter Standard delivers centralized management, monitoring, and lifecycle automation.

vMotion & High Availability

Live-migrate running VMs between hosts with zero downtime via vMotion, while High Availability automatically restarts VMs on healthy hosts when hardware fails for continuous operations.

Three editions for every scale

Standard delivers core virtualization, Enterprise Plus adds DRS and advanced resource scheduling, and Foundation 9.0 brings Kubernetes, VM Service, and AI services for new workloads.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported VMware vSphere experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs VMware vSphere

Built for how modern enterprises run virtualized workloads at scale.

Everything your business needs to virtualize enterprise workloads at scale, delivered in one industry-leading platform covering ESXi hypervisor, vCenter, vMotion, HA, DRS, Storage I/O Control, Kubernetes runtime, and three flexible editions matching every business size.

ESXi Hypervisor & vCenter Management

VMware ESXi is the bare-metal Type-1 hypervisor that virtualizes server hardware including CPU, memory, network, and storage resources so multiple isolated virtual machines run on a single physical host with near-native performance. vCenter Server Standard provides the centralized management plane for monitoring, provisioning, configuring, and lifecycle-managing every host and VM across your data center, with the vCenter Lifecycle Management Service automating updates and patches.

vMotion, HA & Resource Scheduling

vMotion enables live migration of running virtual machines between physical hosts without service interruption, eliminating planned downtime for hardware maintenance, load balancing, or capacity expansion. Storage vMotion live-migrates VM disks between datastores with zero downtime. High Availability automatically restarts VMs on healthy hosts after hardware failure. Enterprise Plus adds Distributed Resource Scheduler for load balancing, plus Storage I/O Control and Network I/O Control.

vSphere Standard Edition

vSphere Standard is the entry-level edition delivering core server virtualization for small to mid-sized deployments needing essential consolidation and high availability without advanced automation features. Standard includes the ESXi hypervisor, vCenter Server Standard management, vMotion live migration, Storage vMotion, High Availability, and core monitoring. Standard edition is licensed per core with a 16-core minimum per CPU, available up to vSphere version 8 Update 3, ideal for cost.

vSphere Enterprise Plus Edition

vSphere Enterprise Plus extends Standard’s foundation with advanced automation including Distributed Resource Scheduler for automatic VM placement and load balancing across cluster hosts, plus Storage I/O Control and Network I/O Control for QoS-based prioritization. Enterprise Plus is the right choice for enterprise virtualized data centers requiring advanced resource management and sophisticated automation policies. Enterprise Plus is licensed per core with a 16-core minimum per CPU.

vSphere Foundation 9.0 Edition

vSphere Foundation 9.0 is the next-generation edition delivering modern private cloud capabilities including the vSphere Kubernetes Service for container orchestration, VM Service for declarative VM provisioning, Storage Service, Network Service, and AI services for Private AI workloads. Foundation 9.0 is the only path to access vSphere 9.0 features as Standard and Enterprise Plus remain at version 8 Update 3. Foundation includes vSAN entitlement and modern Kubernetes runtime.
