Overall Satisfaction with VMware vCenter Server
I have deployed vCenter server 5.5 for one of the leading Indian Telecom operators to virtualise a telecom application server (VNF). This vCenter Server is licensed with the enterprise plus edition. It manages more than 1000 HPGen8 blade servers installed with Esxi 5.5
- Single platform to monitor, manage and configure many servers
- SSO feature for authenticity
- Enhaced linked mode for mutisite vcenter intergeration
- Ease of use
- In 5.5 all improvements were done
- In 6.0 there are some new features in the HA module
- Positive impact - this telco cloud solution customer saved on hardware costs
- Reduced cost of ownership
- Multivendor integration is challenging but productive
Openstack is open source virtualization. vCenter is a product from VMware which is licensed and hence has full support from the VMware team. However in Openstack you need to subscribe to a project community like REDHAT openstack to get support.
