Overall Satisfaction with VMware vCenter Server
As the IT Manager of the company we use VMware vCenter Server to consolidate our main core ERP systems, also several virtual servers running from Oracle to MS SQL Servers are deploy, managed and backed up using the VMware vCenter solution, for us is a relieve of scheduled tasks to roll out backups, increase resources on demand, and also to provide more disk space to our server live, the only issue foreseeing is that we need to invest in the hardware to be head to head with all the tools and get the most from the VMware vCenter Server.
- I can manage as many as 1000 and more machines in the virtual world. A unit vCenter Server can easily manage 1,000 host profiles without reducing the user experience.
- With the linked mode in operations, you can link together up to 10 VCenter Servers and manage 30,000 machines across remote locations. Currently I have vCenter Servers up and linked doing an awesome job and keeping safe my ERP core.
- It is super simple to deploy a structure. This software is particularly designed for Linux based systems and it just takes one step to migrate all of your information from a Windows vCenter Server to the Linux platform, I strongly recommend this for VMware vCenter Admins or IT Administrators.
- The Linked Mode allows you to replicate permissions, licenses and roles. So you may be able to access your infrastructure simultaneously from different platforms.
- UIX can always be more intuitive for basic to mid level admins.
- Analyzing many systems simultaneously can impact vCenter Server performance but this comes up when the hardware performance gets overwhelmed
- It's almost 90% dedicated for Linux based platforms.
- The budget can turn into a mess if you don't have a strong design to fulfill all of the business requirements, you can fall into a deep dive of over rated purchases.
- VMware vCenter Server will take you to the next level of business investment over private virtual server solutions, and will protect and manage all of your virtual assets with great ease.
- For the small size company the initial investment can be overwhelming but if you're expecting to grow faster and develop more solutions and integrate more software and services VMware vCenter Server has your back.
I've selected VMware vCenter Server among the other Virtual Server solutions because it reduces the amount of time and effort to run and set up maintenance tasks, create hosts and back them up. Replication is so easy when you have a second vCenter Server linked remotely that you can save money and time and get the most from your hardware.
