In this era of digital transformation, failing to embrace virtualisation means falling behind the curve.

The good news is that the technology has matured over the years, and as a result, today’s organisations have an extensive array of advanced virtualisation solutions at their disposal.

Among the most well-known and adopted is vSphere, the powerful and trusted virtualisation platform of VMware, which lets you create and manage Virtual Machines (VMs) on a cluster of servers using two main components:

ESXi, the hypervisor that runs on each server.
vCenter Server, the central management tool that controls the whole cluster.

First released in 2009, VMware vSphere has since evolved, with several versions released already, along with a handful of updates and new features. Some of these features are vMotion, which lets you move VMs between servers without downtime, and vSAN, which lets you use local storage as a shared pool for your VMs.

With VMware vSphere, your organisation stands to get the following benefits:

Flexibility. VMware vSphere lets you create and deploy VMs in minutes without having to worry about hardware compatibility or availability. At the same time, you can scale your infrastructure up or down depending on your needs.
Availability. VMware vSphere ensure high availability and disaster recovery for your critical applications through features such as vMotion and Site Recovery Manager. It also lets you backup and restore your VMs easily with vSphere Data Protection and vSphere Replication.
Security. VMware vSphere lets you protect your VMs from cyber threats with features such as vShield Endpoint, which provides antivirus and anti-malware protection, and vSphere Encryption, which encrypts your data at rest and in motion.
Cost savings. With VMware vSphere, hardware expenses are significantly reduced as it consolidates multiple physical servers into fewer virtual ones while also optimising resource utilisation.
