VMware vSphere 8.0U2a download

In comparison to vSphere 7, VMware vSphere 8 exhibits noteworthy enhancements in scalability, while most of the fundamental attributes remain consistent, as vSphere 7 had already pushed the boundaries of platform capabilities to the maximum. For instance, parameters like vMem, vCPU per VM, and pCPU per host remain unchanged. The key alterations involve doubling the vGPU allocation per VM and introducing a lifecycle manager with the ability to oversee up to 1000 hosts. The maximum VMs allowed per cluster have also been raised, now accommodating up to 10,000 VMs per cluster. Another significant improvement is the expansion of VMDirectPath I/O device support from 8 to 32 per host. This enables the combination of NIC and GPU devices, allowing them to share a common PCIe switch or establish a direct connection. Additionally, vSphere 8 introduces new Device Virtualization Plugins (DVX).

What’s New in vSphere 8

VMware vSphere 8 is the enterprise workload platform that brings the benefits of cloud to on-premises workloads. It supercharges performance with DPU and GPU based acceleration, enhances operational efficiency through the VMware Cloud Console, seamlessly integrates with add-on hybrid cloud services, and accelerates innovation with an enterprise-ready integrated Kubernetes runtime that runs containers alongside VMs.

Features and enhancements of VMware vSphere 8

1. VMware vSAN: vSAN is a software-defined storage solution that leverages the local storage of each ESXi host to create a distributed storage pool. This eliminates the need for external storage arrays and allows for more flexible and scalable storage configurations.
2. vSphere with Kubernetes: vSphere with Kubernetes integrates the Kubernetes container orchestration platform into the vSphere environment. This enables developers to deploy and manage containerized applications alongside traditional virtual machines, providing a unified platform for both types of workloads.
3. Enhanced DRS: Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is a feature that automatically balances the workload across multiple ESXi hosts in a vSphere cluster. In vSphere 8, DRS has been enhanced to provide even more intelligent workload placement and better resource utilization.

VMware vSphere 8 introduces several new features and enhancements that further improve the capabilities and performance of the virtualization platform.
