VMware vCenter 9 Download

VMware vCenter 9 (part of vSphere 9.0/VCF 9.0) is a significant update modernizing the platform with features like NVMe memory tiering, enhanced security (Trusted Domains), better container/VM management, unified operations (VCF Operations), and a new licensing model where vCenter licensing shifts under the VCF/VVF umbrella. Key benefits include cost reduction (up to 40% with NVMe), faster updates, streamlined operations, and support for next-gen applications, creating a cloud-like experience on-premises. 

Key Features & Improvements

• Modernization: Supports large VMs (up to 960 cores), enables Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) in vCenter, and offers consistent APIs for modern apps.
• Performance: NVMe memory tiering uses NVMe for memory, potentially cutting costs, while overall performance is optimized.
• Security: Introduces hardware-based Trusted Domains, TLS 1.3, FIPS 140-2 compliance, live patching, and automatic certificate renewal.
• Unified Operations: Consolidates monitoring with unified storage dashboards (vSAN, SAN, NAS) and machine learning analytics, managed via VCF Operations.
• Simplified Management: Faster vCenter updates (under 5 mins), streamlined licensing through VCF/VVF, and a unified consumption interface for VMs & containers.
