Vmware Vcenter Server 6.5 Full Of GoodiesThe latest 6.5 release, brings with it a bag-full of goodies that include native HA, embedded Update Manger and inbuilt backup restore functionality, features you wont find in vCenter Server for Windows.This, however, is no longer the case with vCSA now leading the race which is why I now tend to opt for the appliance version of vCenter.Vmware Vcenter Server 6.5 Series Of 3So instead of repeating myself, I put together a series of 3 videos outing the installation process.

As always, however, make sure to weigh in all your options and requirements before jumping in. Prior to joining Altaro as a blog writer and QA tester, I was employed as an infrastructure engineer at a cloud services provider working exclusively with VMware products. The Altaro VMware blog enables me to share the experience and knowledge gained and, much to my surprise, is what got me the vExpert 2017 award. Besides being a techie and a science buff, I like to travel and play guitars. I also do some photography and love having a go at playing the occasional XBOX game, Halo being my absolute favourite.
