VMware vSphere Review

• The deployment of Distributed Virtual Switch
• Hyper visors for 5.1, 5.5, 6.0
• We use these to deploy our product (Cisco switches)

• Very flexible and scalable SDN solution
• We can add hypervisors with VNX and switches for a CSA fabric solution; it's very flexible for that
• We can scale up Nexus switches for ACI (application centric infrastructure)

• Right now, the NIC teaming feature has only four roles, only supporting it for one role (IP route hash), but it should include all roles
• MAC pinning feature should be there in NIC-teaming
• It needs a more friendly UI, as right now it's difficult to see what we’re maintaining

It’s a hyper visor residential product, and the AVS status is shared between hosts immediately through vCenter, making it more stable.

Using vCenter and AVS, we can create easily, and transparently, a VMM (virtual machine manager) domains. In general, we can scale easily.

No direct experience.

It was a very easy initial setup, including the ESXi host.

We must meet a real-switch behavior and functionalities. Go ahead and definitely purchase it.
