New features of vmware vsphere

Here are some of the new features of VMware vSphere 4.1:

• Installation and Deployment — VMware vSphere 4.1 uses both ESX and ESXi hypervisor architectures. Future major releases of VMware vSphere will include only the VMware ESXi architecture.
• Storage — VMware vSphere 4.1 enables ESXi booting from SAN [BFN]. iSCSI, FCoE, and Fiber Channel boot are supported. ESX can offload specific storage operations to compliant storage hardware.
• Network — Traffic-management controls allow flexible partitioning of physical NIC bandwidth between different traffic types, including virtual machine, vMotion, FT, and IP storage traffic [vNetwork Distributed Switch only].
• Availability — Clustered Virtual Machines that utilize Windows Failover Clustering/Microsoft Cluster Service are now fully supported in conjunction with VMware HA.
• Management — vCLI adds options for SCSI, VAAI, network, and virtual machine control, including the ability to terminate an unresponsive virtual machine. In addition, vSphere 4.1 provides controls that allow you to log vCLI activity.
