vCenter Orchestrator Valuable Features

If I need to do DR, VMware can enable me to use vMotion, which requires use of vCenter. You cannot do vMotion without vCenter. We do a lot of automation, orchestration, and simplification for that purpose.

The most valuable feature of vCenter is its capability to manage virtual machines and storage. Moreover, integrating storage management on top of vCenter enhances its utility. We can manage and relocate resources easily. Additionally, it provides a valuable fault-storage data center feature.
View full review »The tool is quite simple on the management side and offers many features, like vMotion, that help our company's customers manage their VMs all across their landscape, including areas like DR and on-premises situations. Regarding vCenter Orchestrator, it can be quite a handy tool, and I think it's the core of the whole stack.
The solution's most valuable feature is its good automation features.
The most crucial feature of vCenter is its scalability. We can use it to expand our network, so we don't have to report our client devices. The network configuration features are also helpful because we can migrate entire networks.
For example, we have a disaster recovery site that stores all our network configurations, so our clients can move from one site to another. We can use load balancing for the same problem. If the server or hypervisor is fully loaded, we can easily move some devices or VMs to another site.
We use the VLS Orchestrator with vCenter and create templates, allowing our clients to access and collect administration for their services. They manage the IT-critical stuff they implement, so we can provide them with pre-built solutions and templates.

The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines. For smaller to medium-sized data centers, we also use Proxmox, a German software for server virtualization. Additionally, we prioritize data backup and recovery, with independent data centers located about 200 kilometers away from our main centers, Data Center A and Data Center H. These main centers operate in an active-active mode, while B and C serve as backups.
vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library.

VMware vSphere includes the components and features that fulfill most of the imaginations of a Virtualization expert. A virtualization layer that runs on physical servers that abstracts processor, memory, storage, and resources into multiple virtual machines. The central point for configuring, provisioning, and managing virtualized IT environments.
The essence that is served is on the spot provisioning of the compute nodes and infrastructure in a virtualized manner
Effective time saving, diminished manual errors, complex IT workflow, and reduced operational cost has resulted in increasing our IT Application Service value proposition by many folds

The solution offers one central view. The VMotion is good. It's easy to put it into service and maintenance mode if needed. I'm an architect, however, my team is more hands-on day-to-day, and they know about the solution in detail.
The initial setup has been pretty straightforward, and the team, in general, has been happy with the process.
The solution is pretty stable and reliable.
Technical support is very good at taking a deep dive into issues.
