vCenter Server Erfahrungen

Use of VCenter, my great experience

Kommentare: To be able to share with a great audacity the experience of using the software that I use on a daily basis so that I can also get to know the experience of other end users, learn from their experiences, recommendations and experiences within the professional, technical and personal spheres.
Widely recommended, the first time I use it I would recommend it 100% to other professionals, who want to share their experience and experience.

Vorteile:

For more than 10 years I have been a VMWare VCenter user, in which I have been able to experience the great benefits of a software that allows to have centralized administration of all the resources of a virtual environment. The creation of teams is considerably simplified, since the allocation of resources is very fast, the management of the configuration of the networks and the storage elements are now easy to use and assign. With the new virtualization technology used by VMWare VCenter, the computing centers have great scalability, the remote management of data centers for disaster reoccupation is very effective. The creation, administration and configuration of Virtual Networks is also one of the best advantages of VCenter, its implementation is quick and easy. The backup of the virtual environment is also easy to perform, in this way the operation of my services will be guaranteed in case of any application or operating system failure, I no longer have to worry. I have used it with different brands of hardware in different companies and it seems to me that the product behaves equally fast and versatile. I feel more secure and confident in every moment, I recommend it tirelessly.

Nachteile:

One of the few advantages that VMWare VCenter has is that it adapts to only medium and large companies for its cost, it is worth using, the hardware to be used must be of great potential in order to make the most of the resources and exploit them for the benefit of the company and thus have 100% utilization. Another disadvantage that it has is having a VCenter cluster, that is having two or more VCenter having access to the same database so that in case of failure it can continue the operation as if it had not roasted anything, for this modality it must be have a clone of the VCenter turned off and turn on in case of error and not recovery of the original VCenter, this generates waste of time for lack of this process is automatic.

Experience with vCenter Server

Kommentare: Platform management in data centers

Vorteile:

It allows the management of virtual machines to be more effective, to the point that an automation is reached based on the consumption of the services published in it.

Nachteile:

To get the most out of the tools, many of its features are not as accessible, and the latest features require modern infrastructure.

Great when it works but upgrade issues are abundant

Vorteile:

This software is a huge timesaver and communication tool when the connection is working correctly. It makes it very easy to view your virtual desktop wherever you are and have read/write access to your files on the go. This is the only reason people in our company are able to work at home, which is a huge pro.

Nachteile:

There seem to be frequent issues regaining a connection when there is a new version upgrade. The system doesn't seem to always recognize the upgrade and you end up having to delete and re-download the program to establish a connection.

Vcenter Server

Vorteile:

Vmotion and the ability for VMs to move from one host to another are things I like. VSAN managed storage by claiming the disks and raiding them. HA - High Availability. The arrangement of hosts and clusters.

Nachteile:

In all honesty, I can't think of anything that I don't like least about Vcenter.

Best virtual tools

Vorteile:

I used Vcenter wince a long time ago and im very happy to use it

Nachteile:

Nothing, for me its the best tools for my work

vSphere is nothing without vCenter

Kommentare: I have administered and managed hundreds (maybe thousands) of VMs with vCenter. Used the last 3 major versions and they are constantly improving and adding features and increasing the hardware limitations (a VM with 1TB of RAM!!).

Vorteile:

vCenter puts all the awesome technologies and features together in a manageable environment. vCenter is the first step in clustering resources into no longer seeing individual hardware servers as important. Virtualize compute, storage, and network so as to be one seamless datacenter resource. vCenter is compatible and integrated with so many other products and VMware's powershell library for vCenter is exhasutive.

Nachteile:

Like vSphere, it can get pricey. And as of the most recent release, I don't think that there is a really good high availability solution for the vCenter VM itself so that if it dies, you may be left doing alot of manual work until you can bring it back up.

Best in class resource management software

Vorteile:

It provides centralized monitoring and resource management for VMware vSphere virtual infrastructure. Important features include: Centralize Administration Multi-hypervisor management Live Migration of VM Live migration of Storage High Availability (HA) Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) Fault Tolerance (FT) Centralize Patch Management Can implement automation and API Content library Host Profile

Nachteile:

Nothing as of now. All features desired to manage CPU and storage are seemless.

vCenter Server - Rock Solid

Kommentare: Great!

Vorteile:

VMware vCenter Server is a rock solid platform from which vSphere, Horizon View, etc run and is supremely reliable. Up time is 99.99% and performance is top tier.

Nachteile:

Not a negative, but vCenter Server is a Linux based application, and many are not familiar with Linux which can make support an issue without the right personnel.

Virtualization is the best

Kommentare: overall this is superb technology and interesting GUI. Using this it is very easy to manage virtual servers and manage network and storage. this is totally easy rather than using more physical servers

Vorteile:

This is one of the best solution for virtualization. It is easy to implement the technology and easy to Manage physical ESXi hosts and virtual machines as well. There are lot of functionalities in this vcenter sever and we can make every virtual machine highly available with zero downtime. User interface is very easy and descriptive as well.

Nachteile:

in network slowness sometimes vcenter will go to hang state. It is the one of main problem.

The Way to Manage Multiple Hosts

Kommentare: This software allows me to have multiple servers on very little hardware and have redundancy so my business stays running 24/7. It is part of my enterprise no matter what company I work for.

Vorteile:

This makes it very simple to manage multiple ESXi hosts in one pane of glass. It's fairly easy to use once you understand the basics but has the ability to be very powerful.

Nachteile:

I don't like how the latest management is all web based. Before you can use a stand alone client but now you must access via a web console. It is not as polished as the app.

Managing has never been this easy!

Kommentare: I can say that Vmotion, Data Protection, Replication, DRS and DPM features save lives. It maximizes resource utilization.

Vorteile:

After the initial setup, adding and installing all physical and virtual servers at the same time in just a few steps has never been this easy.It enabled multiple HOSTs to be managed from a single point at the same time under a single platform and combined all processes at a single point. It provided an additional gain above the expected from many factors such as time, cost and resources.Integration with vSphere Client was also an excellent experience. Thanks to its storage space management, data migration, and data protection features, it is an excellent convenience and trust.

Nachteile:

There is almost no downside. you just have to know the system and the structure very well and make a plan accordingly. otherwise you may see many things as complex and incomplete. With a full professional support, this problem can be solved.

The industry standard in virtual computing environment management

Kommentare: Everyone is virtualized, and this is what we use. We are 90-95% virtual, and we use vCenter to manage it all.

Vorteile:

It is a single pane of glass for your VMWare environment: manage your entire VMWare compute farm with multiple sites and clusters in one place. You can manage everything from single VM setup to cluster behavior to DR behavior.

Nachteile:

From a software perspective, for years VMWare servers become unmanaged if a storage admin removes even unused storage before an ESX host detaches it. It should be able to handle it. That's more of and ESX issue, not vCenter per se.

Best of breed management

Kommentare: This had been a great addition and allows vSphere to be an enterprise platform and become very stable.

Vorteile:

The best feature of vCenter is the ease of management for multiple entities. It saves a tremendous amount of time even for small deployments.

Nachteile:

There is a discrepancy in feature sets between the HTML5 and Flex interface. This means you can use the HTML5 interface for basic stuff and use Flex for more advanced stuff. HTML5 is much faster.

VMware VirtualCenter Review

Kommentare: Overall its good .

Vorteile:

The best part of VMware is ease of use. You can manage multiple servers and machines at one place and provide best utilization of resources. It allow you to you to use shared resources when it is not in use, which help to optimal resource utilization of machine

Nachteile:

A bit expensive for small companies . Recovery is difficult and time consuming .

vCenter is needed

Vorteile:

you can have as many esxi host running but the only true way to actually manage all at once, is via vCenter. you can Vmotion your vm's, create different clusters for the hosts. allocating whether its storage, memory, datastores vcenter has it.

Nachteile:

can be a bit pricy but well worth it. Depending on the amount of hosts/cores. etc.

I use it on a daily basis and it works great

Kommentare: Easy management of physical hosts and virtual machines.

Vorteile:

New useful features with each new version Integration with other VMware products Good documentation, both in text and videos

Nachteile:

Web interface still using Flash Lack of a migrating tool from the Windows-based server to the Linux appliance Expensive training courses

Vcenter is a great way to manager your vSphere environment

Vorteile:

vCenter makes it easy to manage my VMware environment from one place. I also like the ability to live migrate a VM from one host to another with vMotion.

Nachteile:

I can't really think of any real cons with vCenter that support wasn't able to help with.

Total management for your virtual infrastructure

Kommentare: Total management of my virtual environment

Vorteile:

This is the management infrastructure for the Vmware virtualization environment. It brings with it a lot of features like vmotion for one and clustering and HA services all working to reduce your downtime. Using Virtual Center is leaps and bounds better than managing individual ESXi hosts on their own. You can coordinate updates and see all of your infrastructure under a single pane of glass. Organize your ESXi servers into datacenters and locations and folders or clusters. Once you try Virtual Center you will never go back to managing individual hosts again.

Nachteile:

Currently uses Adobe Flash for the main interface but they have a mostly functional HTML5 interface available in the latest version and are moving to a fully functional HTML5 interface quickly.

vCenter WEB GUI

Kommentare: All together great product.

Vorteile:

Consistent layout of menu, ease of use, improved HTML5 GUI, AD login plugin.

Nachteile:

There are still some features missing that exist in Flash WEB client; vSAN monitoring is buggy, export of listed events/tasks,inventory is not possible in HTML5 client. After upgrading or updating I must warn all users to clear web browser cache before first login to vCenter WEB GUI. Sorting of columns in active tasks (in bottom frame) is often jumping/rearranging as task finishes and making it unusable for monitoring.

Great product I use every day

Kommentare: It's the best hypervisor I have ever used. I have used KVM, VMWare, HyperV, and XEN. I never have issues with deployment when it comes to vcenter. Can't say that about the rest

Vorteile:

VMWare has been the go to hyper visor for me for years. the Virtual Center client has always worked and never left me stranded

Nachteile:

As of recently with the move to get away from the C# client, it has become a little more tedious doing the things I need.

Best tool around for HW virtualization

Vorteile:

The ability to manage all machines HW is great, the networking and the redundancy configurations are very useful.

Nachteile:

There are some small bugs which sometimes make life a bit difficult. In addition, in some occasions the VC is getting very slow. It is not good that the newer version require to have a separated VC and cannot be standalone with an ESX server

Vmware VCenter

Kommentare: Very good

Vorteile:

User interface. Integration with LDAP. updates for vcenter and hosts.

Nachteile:

Interface must be simplified for users to interact with it

Virtualizaion go-to

Vorteile:

Easy o setup and use, hard to master as there is so much to it, but once you enered the rabbit hole, you may never want to go get out.

Nachteile:

Depending on environment, it could be sometimes unstable, but nothing that you cannot solve with proper support.

SDDC

Vorteile:

The Vmware Products its not only standalone software, if you think SDDC concept, you are right way..

Nachteile:

if you want to VMWare products you need more money.

A must have

Vorteile:

I work with product in small, medium and large companies. It simplifies administration of virtual machines. I love the template feature which enables you to create a vm in minutes.

Nachteile:

The price is the only downfall for this product, but when using it small businesses The Essentials kit is a great solution. Same features for a small business price...
