vSphere 8 EOL – Timeline (deutsch)

Posted on by Marcel Daube

Launched in October 2022, vSphere 8 revolutionized hardware utilization through the Distributed Services Engine for DPUs and the vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA). Subsequent updates focused on operational improvements, such as „Configuration Profiles“ and enhanced lifecycle management, culminating in Update 3 with optimizations for AI workloads.
