Editing VMware vSphere (section)

=== Pro ===
vSphere offers enterprise grade features and centralized management for licensed editions through vCenter Server.  vCenter is offered for both Windows and through the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA), which is deployed via an OVA template.  High Availability built into hypervisor.  Workload migration or host maintenance is seamless by leveraging feature sets such as vMotion or Storage vMotion.  Resource balancing is built-in through Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) which relieves the management burdens of balancing cluster resources.  vSphere offers integration with all major storage vendors for performance benefits.  (This includes popular homelab options such as Synology.)  Additionally vSphere ships with a software-defined storage solution built in called Virtual SAN (VSAN), reducing the need to purchase a SAN for a home lab.  Starting with vSphere 6.0U2 an HTML5 web host client is built in further easing single host management. 

vSphere is available in a free edition with limited, non-clustered feature sets.
