VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch
•   Provides a central datacenter level aggregated control point 
for virtual machine networking
•   Enables the use of third party virtual switches such as Cisco 
Nexus 1000v in vSphere environments
•   Simplifi ed provisioning and administration of 
virtual machine networking
•   Enhanced security and monitoring for virtual 
machines migrated via VMware VMotion 
through maintenance and migration of port 
runtime state
VMware Host Profi les
•   Allows creation of “golden” profi les of ESX hosts and their 
application to existing or new hosts
•   Simplifi es the provisioning and confi guration 
management of ESX hosts
VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning
•   Defers the allocation of storage to virtual machines until
 it is needed
•   Uses monitoring and alerting capabilities to trigger proactive 
procurement of storage
•   Reduces storage costs by over 50% in virtual 
environments
VMware Hot Add

•   Allows a single virtual machine to use up to 8 virtual CPUs 
at a time (this was previously 4 vCPUs in VI3)
•   Allows for the most compute intensive 
applications to be run as virtual machines
Performance and Scalability
•  255GB of RAM in virtual machines (previously 64GB)
•  64 cores and 512GB of physical RAM supported by ESX hosts
•   Over 8,900 database transacion transactions per second 
per virtual machine – suffi  cient to run annually the entire 
transaction traffi  c of VISA
