Cross-VC vMotion – migration of VMs between vCenter servers.Host Profiles and Auto Deploy - host profiles and automatic deployment.Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) – virtualization of a single PCIe device into several virtual devices.I/O Controls (Storage and Network) – access prioritization due to continuous I/O workload monitoring.Storage DRS – automatic balancing of disk resource workload.

Distributed Switch – centralized management of the network configuration.

Reliable Memory – optimal placement of VMkernel blocks in the memory.

Distributed Power Management – optimization of power consumption due to switching off idle hosts.

Distributed Resource Scheduler – balancing the workload between hosts.

In addition to Standard features, vSphere Enterprise edition offers the following options:

APIs for Array Integration, Multipathing – API storage interfaces to integrate arrays and manage alternative paths.

Multi-VC Content Library – centralized management of VM templates, vApp, IOS and scripts.

APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA) – vCenter and disk array integration.

Storage-Policy Management (SPBM) – an automatic storage management.

Virtual Volumes ( VVOLs) – a virtualization of SAN and NAS storage devices.

VM Data Replication – an optimized data replication using WAN.

Storage vMotion – an online migration of virtual disk files between storage devices.

vMotion, Cross-Switch vMotion – an online migration of VMs between servers or virtual switches.

Fault Tolerance – provides continuous VM (app) availability in case of hardware failures.

High Availability – reduces downtime due to automatic VM restart.

VSphere Standard offers the following features: Let’s briefly describe the most interesting features available in different editions:

I/O Controls (Network and Storage) and SR-IOV Virtual Volumes and Storage-Policy BasedManagementĭistributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Distributed Power Management (DPM) High Availability (HA) and Fault Tolerance(FT)ĭata Protection (VDP) and VM Data Replication cp /etc/vmware/.#license.cfg /etc/vmware/license.VMotion, Storage vMotion and Cross-Switch vMotion.mv /etc/vmware/license.cfg etc/vmware/.There is however an easy way to extend the license expiration period, or actually reinitialise the counter back to 60 days. You cannot use the features that remained unused before the license expiration. You cannot change the current configuration of the features that are in use. All powered on virtual machines continue to work, but you cannot power on virtual machines after they are powered off. When the evaluation period ends, the ESXi host will disconnect from vCenter Server. The evaluation license provides the set of features equal to a vSphere Enterprise Plus license. The evaluation period is 60 days and begins when you turn on the ESXi host. The installable version of ESXi hosts is always installed in evaluation mode.
