About VMware vSphere

VMware vSphere is a server virtualization platform for consolidating workloads onto shared hardware as virtual machines. The vendor describes it as a way to modernize an organization's compute infrastructure with security and compliance built in.

The page text available for this entry is minimal. vSphere is generally understood to pair the ESXi hypervisor with vCenter Server for managing hosts and clusters, and it is a core part of VMware's private cloud infrastructure offerings. Details of editions, features and current packaging should be confirmed with the vendor.

vSphere is proprietary software that organizations run on their own servers, with pricing and licensing information listed on VMware's pricing page.
