VMware vCenter Reviews

I am using this solution for centralized management utility. Additionally, I am utilizing it for managing multiple virtual machines with the ESXi host.

I am using vMotion for live migration and storage migrations. I can use vCenter for both now. In vCenter, I can easily manage storage and move it from one server to another, which is beneficial for the environment. If any server is down, I can utilize the storage for different servers. I can easily manage from anywhere. 

Deployments are simple, and optimization can improve security management. Troubleshooting is easy, and it is possible to detect noncompliance configurations, minimizing costs. The deployment does not require high-cost human resources. I use a single dual machine for multiple VMs. This offers many benefits compared to physical servers or machines.

At the starting phase of my career, I dealt with VMware vCenter for multiple solution propositions for clients. My present company has multiple vCenters deployed across several countries, including UK, Australia, Ashburn in the US and also in Pakistan.

I personally manage multiple vCenters and hosts, I deal with more than 200 hosts that need to be managed. Our company is a huge client of VMware vCenter. 

The DRS, high availability and manageable switches are the most valuable features of VMware vCenter. In our company all the features of VMware vCenter are utilized. The main function of the DRS feature is resource management. For instance, suppose one VM has operations in Node 1, in case of a disaster the DRS feature transfers the VM to another host or cluster. The DRS feature of the solution ensures high availability without any downtime across VMs. 

We use the solution for security and authorization services. It also works as an antivirus backup for the data center.

The point of management is the best advantage.

The primary use case is for virtual machine (VM) deployment, configuration of Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), prioritizing products on VMs, and using add-on devices such as hardware, network, and graphics cards. It's mainly used for high-priority tasks and performance management within VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter environments.

VMware vCenter provides centralized management that reduces costs by eliminating the need to purchase products from different vendors. With centralized monitoring and add-on tools like OneLab Remediation and Skyline Advisor, it streamlines operations and improves productivity.

I don't directly use VMware because I am in charge of the network side, and there is a server team that uses it. However, I use the solution in my company for the servers, local development, and production, as well as for managing all the servers.

I can say that the product is stable because we have been using the tool for the last fifteen years in our company, and there has been no issue. It is a very good product.

I installed VMware vCenter and ESXi. I use vCenter to manage the several ESXi under it. I have used the DRS, high availability, and fault tolerance in my vCenter.

I usually use the DRS, distributed resource scheduling, to balance resources between many ESXi. I also use SDRS to balance storage. High availability so if an ESXi server is down, the VM is started on another ESXi. This feature helps eliminate downtime. Additionally, I integrated with VMware products, which makes integration easy.

It's a centralized management service used across the platform. Our clients use it to manage their virtual infrastructure's performance and capacity.

If a customer or business requests a hundred DDI to be provisioned for a hundred users, using the provisioning and deployment automation, we can quickly provision from the existing VM workload based on the predefined configuration. So, within five to ten minutes, you'll be able to provision a hundred DDS for the users.

So, the automation capabilities have improved operations overall.
