VMware vSphere 8 | Enterprise Plus Kubernetes (PC) (1 Device, Lifetime) - Broadcom Key - GLOBAL
Description
VMware vSphere 8 is an enterprise virtualization platform for running and managing virtual machines, containers, and demanding workloads across centralized computing, storage, and networking infrastructure.
VMware vSphere 8 Key FeaturesESXi hypervisor for creating and running virtual machines and virtual appliancesCentralized infrastructure administration through VMware vCenter ServerAutomated workload placement and resource balancing with Distributed Resource SchedulerLive virtual machine migration using VMware vSphere vMotionHigh Availability and Fault Tolerance capabilities for business-critical workloadsIntegrated Kubernetes environment for operating containerized applicationsSupport for GPUs, vGPUs, hardware accelerators, and demanding AI and machine-learning workloadsData Processing Unit support through the vSphere Distributed Services EngineCentralized host configuration, lifecycle management, updates, and compliance monitoringBuilt-in security features, including Secure Boot, encryption, identity federation, and host attestationCentralized Virtual Infrastructure ManagementVMware vSphere 8 combines the ESXi virtualization layer with vCenter Server management tools. Administrators can control multiple hosts, virtual machines, clusters, storage resources, and virtual networks from a unified environment. This centralized approach simplifies monitoring, provisioning, permissions, and routine infrastructure operations.
Reliable and Efficient Workload OperationFeatures such as vSphere High Availability, Fault Tolerance, Distributed Resource Scheduler, and vMotion help organizations maintain application availability and use hardware resources efficiently. Workloads can be balanced across hosts or migrated with minimal disruption, while automated recovery mechanisms help reduce the effects of server failures.
Support for Modern and Demanding WorkloadsVMware vSphere 8 is designed for traditional enterprise applications as well as Kubernetes, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-intensive services. Expanded GPU and passthrough device support allows organizations to assign powerful hardware resources to virtual machines while maintaining centralized administration.
Streamlined Lifecycle Management and SecurityAdministrators can manage host images, configurations, upgrades, and compliance at cluster level. Pre-staged updates and parallel host remediation can reduce maintenance windows. Security capabilities such as VM encryption, encrypted migration, Secure Boot, hardware TPM support, identity federation, and configuration baselines help protect infrastructure and workloads.
