vSphere Components and Features
An introduction to the components and features of VMware vSphere helps you to understand the parts and how they interact.
VMware vSphere includes the following components and features.

VMware ESXi
A virtualization layer run on physical servers that abstracts processor, memory, storage, and resources into multiple virtual
machines.

VMware vCenter Server

The central point for configuring, provisioning, and managing virtualized IT environments. It provides essential datacenter services
such as access control, performance monitoring, and alarm management.

VMware vSphere Client

An interface that enables users to connect remotely to vCenter Server or ESXi from any Windows PC.

VMware vSphere Web Client

A Web interface that enables users to connect remotely to vCenter Server from a variety of Web browsers and operating systems.
VMware vSphere SDKs
Feature that provides standard interfaces for VMware and third-party solutions to access VMware vSphere.

vSphere Virtual Machine File System (VMFS)

A high performance cluster file system for ESXi virtual machines.

vSphere Virtual SMP

Enables a single virtual machine to use multiple physical processors simultaneously.

vSphere vMotion
Enables the migration of powered-on virtual machines from one physical server to another with zero down time,
continuous service availability, and complete transaction integrity.
Migration with vMotion cannot be used to move virtual machines from one datacenter to another.

vSphere Storage vMotion

Enables the migration of virtual machine files from one datastore to another without service interruption. You
can place the virtual machine and all its disks in a single location, or select separate locations for the virtual
machine configuration file and each virtual disk. The virtual machine remains on the same host during Storage
vMotion.
Migration with Storage vMotion lets you move the virtual disks or configuration file of a virtual machine to a new
datastore while the virtual machine is running. Migration with Storage vMotion enables you to move a virtual
machine's storage without any interruption in the availability of the virtual machine.
vSphere High Availability (HA)
A feature that provides high availability for virtual machines. If a server fails, affected virtual machines are restarted on other available servers that
have spare capacity.

vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)

Allocates and balances computing capacity dynamically across collections of hardware resources for virtual machines. This feature includes distributed
power management (DPM) capabilities that enable a datacenter to significantly reduce its power consumption.

vSphere Storage DRS

Allocates and balances storage capacity and I/O dynamically across collections of datastores. This feature includes management capabilities that
minimize the risk of running out of space and the risk of I/O bottlenecks slowing the performance of virtual machines.

vSphere Fault Tolerance

Provides continuous availability by protecting a virtual machine with a copy. When this feature is enabled for a virtual machine, a secondary copy of the
original, or primary, virtual machine is created. All actions completed on the primary virtual machine are also applied to the secondary virtual machine.
If the primary virtual machine becomes unavailable, the secondary machine becomes immediately active.

vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS)

A virtual switch that can span multiple ESXi hosts, enabling significant reduction of on-going network maintenance activities and increasing network
capacity. This increased efficiency enables virtual machines to maintain consistent network configuration as they migrate across multiple hosts.

Host Profiles

A feature that simplifies host configuration management through user-defined configuration policies. The host profile policies capture the blueprint of a
known, validated host configuration and use this configuration to configure networking, storage, security, and other settings across multiple hosts. The
host profile policies also monitor compliance to standard host configuration settings across the datacenter. Host profiles reduce the manual steps that
are involved in configuring a host and can help maintain consistency and correctness across the datacenter.

Host profiles are also a component of vSphere Auto Deploy. The concept of an autodeployed host means that vCenter Server owns the entire host
configuration and it is captured within a host profile. Certain policies require user input to provide host-specific values. To support Auto Deploy for host
profiles, an answer file is created that contains the definitions for those policies.

Proxmox Technology

We think software should be open source and easy-to-use – for better work and life

Why Open Source Software?

At Proxmox we are committed to use open source software whenever possible. We think that everybody should have the right to access the source code of a software to run it, build on it, or submit changes
back to the project. This guarantees full access to all functionalities for everybody - as well as high security and reliability.

Open source software also helps to keep your costs low and makes your core infrastructure independent from a single vendor.

Your benefit with Proxmox products:

Open source software

No vendor lock-in

Linux kernel

Fast installation and easy-to-use

Web-based management interface

Huge active community

Low administration costs and simple deployment

The Proxmox Linux Kernel

Our software is based on rock solid Linux kernels. Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. It is published under the
GNU General Public License.
Linux provides great performance and is an extremely stable and reliable platform for our servers. It also supports a wide range of
hardware configurations - from cheap systems for testing to high performance multiprocessor servers connected to SAN solutions.

Easy integration into your IT

Our server products can be easily integrated into your existing IT environment. We use the same core technologies for all of our
products. If you are familiar with one Proxmox product, you are familiar with the rest of them. Because we wanted to make it easy for
you to use our products.

Automatic Installation in 5 Minutes

All Proxmox products have an automatic installer. When you boot the installer from USB-stick or CD, it detects your hardware
automatically. As a hardware, you can use most i386/amd64-based PCs or servers, due to the fact that Proxmox products are based on
the latest Linux kernels.

The installation wizard just asks you a few questions, then partitions the local disk(s), installs all required packages, and configures
the system including a basic network setup. You can get a fully functional system within a few minutes.

The complete installation will only take between 5 to 10 minutes. The entire configuration is done with the included web-based
management interface afterwards.

Web-based Management Interface

Easy configuration with the integrated GUI
After installing your Proxmox product with the automatic installer you can immediately start to configure and manage your
administrative tasks via the web-based management interface.

The secure management interface is integrated in all Proxmox products - no need to install any additional and costly management
tools.

Guests Support
kepada guests yang akan menggunakan Linux sebagai server disarankan menggunakan vSphere atau
Proxmox. Karena Hyper-V hanya beberapa Linux saja yang support digunakan. sedangkan untuk guests yang
menggunakan Windows Server, lebih baik menggunakan Hyper-V atau Proxmox, karena pada ESXi mungkin
lancar lancar saja saat proses instalasi, tetapi saat pemakaiannya terkadang terdapat error. Mungkin di versi
terbarunya masalah tersebut sudah teratasi
Skalabilitas

ESXi
Host = 12TB RAM, 1024 VMs, 8000 VMs/cluster
Guest = 128 CPU, 4TB RAM

Proxmox
karena berbasis opensource, jadi maksimal CPU, RAM dll dapat diatur sendiri

Fitur Unggulan Yang Ditawarkan

vSphere
Mendukung teknologi Nvidia GRID (vGPU dan vDGA), yaitu teknologi dimana VM dapat menggunakan VGA Nvidia
langsung ke hardware tanpa melewati Hypervisor. Untuk penjelasan lebih lanjut bisa lihat video yang diatas.
PVE
Complete free and opensource, jadi PVE ini gratis secara penuh dan karena opensource jadi bisa diubah
pengaturan sesuai yang kita butuhkan.

KESIMPULAN
Dari 2 Sistem Virtualisasi Vmware dan Proxmox dapat diambil kesimpulan yaitu
kembali ke kebutuhan user atau pengguna, jika kebutuhan user dalam segi
Performa system tidak mengejar kepada SLA (Service Level Agreement) maka
dapat menggunakan Proxmox saja, namun jika membutuhkan SLA dalam
Performa system maka sebaiknya menggunakan layanan Komersil seperti
Vmware. Vmware lebih dapat meminimalisir waktu repair bila suatu saat terjadi
kerusakan atau error, berbeda dengan proxmox untuk menyelesaikan problem
yang terjadi perlu ada usaha untuk mencari solusi dari permasalahan tersebut.
Sehingga admin tidak mengacu kepada SLA server tetap dapat berproduksi, untuk
kekuranganya Vmware layanan komersil ada biaya beli di awal dan juga tahunan,
sedangkan untuk proxmox biaya tidak ada pembelian dan tahunan
(free/opensource).
