- VMware vSphere 8 : ushering in a new era of heterogeneous computing by combining DPUs (Data Processing Units) with CPUs and GPUs, enabling access to modern infrastructure for all businesses. Key innovations in vSphere 8 help customers improve workload performance while reducing TCO, accelerate DevOps team innovation, improve operational efficiency and IT productivity, and bring the benefits of cloud to customers' on-premises infrastructure .
vSphere 8 will introduce the vSphere Distributed Services Engine formerly known as Project Monterey. Working closely with technology partners AMD, Intel and NVIDIA, and OEM system partners Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services and Lenovo, the vSphere Distributed Services Engine will unlock hardware innovation to help customers meet the throughput and latency demands of modern distributed workloads. vSphere does this by offloading and accelerating networking and security infrastructure functions from the CPU to the DPU. Client applications that require high network bandwidth and fast cache access, such as in-memory databases, can achieve:
- Save up to 20% in CPU resources while achieving similar or better performance - enabling higher workload consolidation and lower total cost of ownership by using the saved CPU resources; (2)
- Increase transaction rates by up to 36%(2) and reduce latency by 27%(2), leveraging freed CPU resources and better cache locality to drive more workload traffic, while also enjoying the benefits of vSphere DRS and vMotion many benefits.
The vSphere Distributed Services Engine improves infrastructure security by running infrastructure services on DPUs and isolating them from workload domains. In addition, NSX Distributed Firewall offloading to the DPU is currently in public beta. This feature will improve customer security operations and protect east-west traffic at line rate without software agents.
vSphere 8 will significantly accelerate artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, doubling the number of virtual GPU devices per virtual machine, 4x more transparent transmission devices, and supporting vendor device groups to bind high-speed network devices and GPUs. On the DevOps team side, vSphere 8 will include Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 2.0(3), extending Kubernetes capabilities to multiple availability zones to improve resiliency and simplify cluster lifecycle and package management. The new Cloud Consumption Interface service(3) in vSphere 8 will provide developers and DevOps engineers with a common Kubernetes-based API endpoint and user interface, enabling quick and easy access to the entire VMware Cloud IaaS service. You can learn more in the vSphere 8 release blog.
- VMware vSAN 8: As a next-generation storage platform with hyperconverged infrastructure and optimized for modern hardware, vSAN 8 delivers breakthrough performance and efficiency. The new re-architected vSAN Express Storage Architecture™ will boost vSAN performance and storage efficiency running on the latest storage appliances, while improving data protection and management. vSAN 8 will provide customers with a future-ready infrastructure that supports modern TLC storage devices and delivers 4x the performance. (4) In addition, customers' total cost of ownership will be reduced by up to 40% through efficient data protection and enhanced data compression that is up to four times (6) more efficient. (5) The new storage pool structure provides smaller fault domains, faster resynchronization time, and local snapshots that achieve up to 100 times the speed of operation and maintenance, and customers can also enjoy greatly improved availability.
- VMware Cloud Foundation+: Introducing a new cloud connectivity architecture for managing and operating full-stack hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) in the data center. VMware Cloud Foundation+, built on vSphere+ and vSAN+, will enable customers to easily manage virtual machine and container-based enterprise workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments to improve operational efficiency. Customers will be able to simplify maintenance windows and get immediate access to new features and cloud services. VMware also introduced vSphere+ and vSAN+ shortly before the release of VMware Cloud Foundation+.
