The 3 biggest virtualization challenges solved by VMware vSphere 6Challenge 1:

You’re struggling to virtualize cloud, mobile, social and big data applications

Some modern applications are famously resource-intensive and require massive scale. Adding virtualization to the mix has historically introduced yet more limitations on scale, meaning some applications were considered un-virtualizable due to their high resource demands.

The vSphere effect:

Virtualize any application with confidence

VMware vSphere® 6 increases scale and configuration maximums, making it purpose-built for both scale-up and scale-out applications. Now you can virtualize cloud, mobile, social and big data applications with confidence, and build a solid foundation for a Software-Defined Data Center.

Features and benefits• Real scale and performance numbers• NVIDIA GRID™ vGPU™• Instant Clone• MSCS enhancements• Industry-first features• Significant CapEx and OpEx savings

Challenge 2:

Ensuring availability remains a complex and expensive challenge

Here’s the problem: do you ensure speed and efficiency with a data center that’s close to users, or mitigate risk by placing it further away? And what about planned downtime? With more applications requiring multi-vCPUs (virtual CPUs) than ever before, current fault tolerance capabilities for maximum availability are no longer sufficient.

The vSphere effect:

Discover new availability features that align with you and your workloads

In vSphere 6, VMware vMotion® now spans the boundaries of virtual switches and VMware vCenter® Servers, and gives you the capability to migrate VMs over long distances. Multi-processor fault tolerance also becomes possible for the first time in vSphere 6, with support for up to 4 vCPUs, maximizing continuous availability and reducing unplanned downtime.

Challenge 3:

Managing your growing data center is becoming a complex task

Your business is growing fast—and as a result, so is your data center and its resource demands. This soon makes creating, sharing, and migrating VMs and other resources difficult without a central repository. And when it comes to managing content shared among many users and sites —doing it efficiently can be a struggle.

The vSphere effect:

Deliver a simpler and more efficient way to manage your virtual data center

In vSphere 6, centralized storage and management of VM templates, ISO images, and scripts is now possible through the Content Library. And with the new UI enhancements in vSphere 6, managing your virtualized data center content and infrastructure is now more intuitive and efficient than ever.
