Secure data with encryption

vSphere ROBO Enterprise secures data at remote locations through its unique VM-level encryption capability designed to give users a greater degree of control to protect data against unauthorized access.

Efficient server maintenance

vSphere ROBO makes it easier to perform maintenance on remote hosts with Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) in Maintenance mode. It automatically moves VMs out of a server when server goes offline for maintenance and brings the VMs back to server after maintenance. The maintenance can be done remotely from a central IT location.

Live migration of workloads

vSphere vMotion allows you to move an entire running virtual machine from one physical server to another, without downtime. The virtual machine retains its network identity and connections, ensuring a seamless migration process. Transfer the virtual machine's active memory and precise execution state over a high-speed network, allowing the virtual machine to switch from running on the source vSphere host to the destination vSphere host.

Protect VM and data

vSphere Data Protection provides agent-less, image-level virtual machine backups to disk. It also provides application-aware protection for business-critical Microsoft applications (Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint) along with WAN-efficient, encrypted backup data replication. Features include variable-length deduplication, application-aware backups, single-step recovery, and direct-to-host emergency restores.

Ensure system uptime

Minimize downtime with uniform, cost-effective failover protection against hardware and operating system outages within your virtualized environment with vSphere High Availability (HA). Monitor hosts and virtual machines and automatically restart virtual machines on other hosts in the cluster when an outage is detected. HA provides uniform, automated protection for all applications without modifications to the application or guest operating system.

Share data center resources

vSphere Content Library enables administrators to manage VM templates, vApps, ISO images, and scripts from a central location. Organize the content into libraries, which can be individually configured and managed. Once libraries are created, share content across the boundaries of vCenter Servers and ensure consistency across your data center. Deploy VM templates directly onto a host or cluster for a consistent provisioning experience.

Rapid deployment and provisioning

Host profiles, which store configuration settings shared by vSphere hosts, can be attached to one or more vSphere hosts or clusters. The host configuration is compared to the host profile and any deviations are reported so configuration drift can be corrected automatically. Administrators can create a profile once and then use it in conjunction with Auto Deploy to rapidly deploy and provision multiple vSphere hosts, eliminating the need for specialized scripts or manual configuration.
