Obviously version 4 brings new things to the table, but what they did for 4.0 was change the name from VC to VSphere. Im not even sure you can buy 3.x anymore. From: Jeremy Anderson [mailto:jer...@mapiadmin.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 5:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VMWare VSphere vs. Vcenter Server I am looking for a quick high level overview of the difference between Vcenter Server and VSphere. What can I do if I buy just VCenter, and what can I do if I have Vsphere. The environment that this would be going into would be a 3 standalone server environment, no SAN. I know that Vsphere requires Vcenter, but what benefit does it have over just running Vcenter? Currently in place is the 2 machines but they are running VMWare server and we want to migrate them to ESXi and have centralized management as well as snapshot capability. We will be adding a third server as well. TIA ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
