VIRTUALIZATION 3.5
• Storage - VMware vSphere 6 is rigorously tested and certified on over 1500 storage arrays. This includes a wide
range of storage systems from Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, Fujitsu Siemens, HP, Hitachi Data Systems, IBM, NEC, NetApp,
StorageTek, Sun Microsystems , Pillar, Xiotech and others.

Supports arrays qualified for Windows Server
2012 R2
Supports limited subset of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux certified storage arrays
• vShield Endpoint – Hypervisor layer anti-virus ooad lets administrators manage anti-virus and anti-malware
policies through the same management interfaces used to secure the physical infrastructure, without the need for
in-guest agents. Use industry leading anti-virus solutions or leverage REST APIs for customized integration.

No No
• Configuring USB Device Passthrough from an ESXi Host to a Virtual Machine - Virtual machines can use USB
devices connected to an ESXi host where the virtual machine is running. The connection is maintained even if the
virtual machine migrates using vMotion.
3
No No
• ESXi Firewall – The ESXi management interface is protected by a service-oriented and stateless firewall, which you
can configure using the vSphere Web Client or the command line

Configured at operating system level via
Windows Firewall
Configured at operating system level via

Advanced Memory Protection
• Memory Fault Isolation - On supported platforms, ESXi detects and quarantines physical memory regions that exhibit
frequent correctable errors. This preemptive action reduces the risk of uncorrectable errors that result in VM or host
downtime.
3
No No
• Reliable Memory Technology - Optimized placement of the VMkernel and other critical components to guard
against memory errors that could aect system stability and availability
3
No No
Advanced CPU Capabilities
• CPU Capacity Prioritization - CPU capacity on a host is assigned to virtual machines on a “fair share” basis and CPU
resource controls also allow an absolute minimum level of CPU capacity to be provided to critical virtual
machines. View CPU assigned resource controls centrally and leverage resource pools to guarantee resources
to the most critical resources.

Limited, Hyper-V lacks resource pools and top
level management of resources
Limited CPU shares capability, disabled by
default
• Virtualized CPU Counters – Performance counters for debugging, tuning, and troubleshooting

No No
Advanced Memory Management
• Transparent Page Sharing - Utilize available memory more eciently by storing identical memory pages within the
same virtual machine only once. Further increase your memory consolidation benefits by enabling salting to store
similar pages across multiple virtual machines only once. For example, if several virtual machines are running the
same operating system, they may have many identical memory pages. Transparent page sharing consolidates those
identical pages into a single memory location.
