What is VMware vSphere 8?
VMware vSphere 8 is an enterprise workload platform that brings cloud benefits to on-premises workloads. It enhances performance through the use of Data Processing Units (DPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and it accelerates innovation with an integrated Kubernetes runtime. This platform is designed to meet the needs of modern distributed workloads while simplifying infrastructure management.
How does vSphere 8 improve workload performance?
vSphere 8 improves workload performance by utilizing DPUs to offload and accelerate networking functions, which allows more CPU resources to be allocated to workloads. Internal benchmarking has shown that using a DPU-enabled host can achieve up to 36% better throughput and a 27% reduction in transaction latency. Additionally, it supports up to 32 NVIDIA GPUs in passthrough mode, significantly enhancing AI/ML model training times.
What are the benefits of the Cloud Consumption Interface in vSphere 8?
The Cloud Consumption Interface in vSphere 8 simplifies infrastructure setup by offering intuitive user interfaces and developer-friendly APIs. This allows DevOps teams to easily provision IaaS services, such as VMs and Kubernetes clusters, without relying heavily on IT admins. This streamlined approach helps free up time for developers to focus on their core tasks, ultimately enhancing productivity.
