Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integration
Run the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid service directly on vSphere to simplify operation of Kubernetes on-premises.
DPU Integration
Supercharge performance by offloading security and networking functions from the CPUs to Data Processing Units (DPUs).
Lifecycle Management Service
Update an entire fleet of ESXi hosts in one operation, across multiple vCenters and clusters, and centrally monitor progress from the Cloud Console.
Cloud Consumption Interface (CCI)
Allow DevOps teams to leverage intuitive UIs and developer-friendly APIs for simplified IaaS services across the vSphere fleet.
Increase Performance of Large AI/ML Workloads
Enhance the performance of large AI/ML workloads with support for up to 16 vGPUs per VM, 32 passthrough devices per VM, and the deployment of NVLink and NVSwitch technology.
Capacity Service
Monitor and optimize the capacity needed to run workloads across the entire vSphere fleet. Plan capacity for future infrastructure and workload demands.
Tanzu Mission Control Essentials
Leverage this central hub for simplified management of Kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds. Decrease deployment time and increase DevOps velocity.
vSphere Green Metrics
Track power consumed at the host and VM levels. Uncover opportunities to optimize consumption and make contributions to your organization’s sustainability goals.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Get the enterprise-grade data center, cloud and edge infrastructure you need for advanced AI/ML services and workloads.
DPU-Based Infrastructure Acceleration
Modernize virtual infrastructure by using DPUs to accelerate network functions and secure workloads. Run distributed workloads like event streaming services with lower latency and improved throughput.
Cloud Consumption Interface (CCI)
Enable a cloud experience that allows developers, DevOps engineers, platform operators, SREs, line-of-business practitioners and other users to independently provision infrastructure services, within limits governed by IT administrators.
Big Data and Modern Data Applications
Simplify Big Data infrastructure management and minimize downtime with cost-effective, uniform failover protection. Easily prioritize and share data center resources for intelligent decision-making.
High Performance Computing (HPC)
Get insights faster with infrastructure on demand, centralized management and data governance, including control of sensitive data. The vSphere HPC option is custom-built to scale with HPC workloads.
Remote and Branch Offices (ROBO)
Manage remote and branch offices with minimal local IT staff, or even none. Enable rapid provisioning of servers, minimize host configuration drift and gain visibility into compliance across sites.

Case Studies
“With rapid provisioning of servers through virtualization, we can now scale horizontally to handle bursts, and we’ve been able to successfully handle surges.”
— Bipin Jayaraj, CIO
“Virtualization has allowed us to expose core services across our apps in a scalable manner … and completely redefine the user experience.”
— Harmeen Mehta, Global CIO
“Deploying vSphere and vSAN got rid of the legacy three-tier architecture. We adopted a hyperconverged architecture, helping us reduce TCO by 15%.”
