One thing that I was surprised to see that that vSphere Application HA has been removed in vSphere 6.0 due to a lack of demand for the feature, oddly its not something we have seen at Symantec and still our user base grows quarter by quarter and Symantec ApplicationHA goes on. So there you have it – a pretty long list of updates for vSphere 6.0.
VDP Advanced has been rolled into VDP and is no longer available for purchase (the features of VDP-A are now available for free to Essentials Plus and higher editions of vSphere!).Now uses copies of VMDKs for added storage redundancy (allowed to be on separate datastores).Backup support with snapshots through VADP.Greatly increased FT host compatibility.
Improved Auditability of ESXi Admin Actions.
Password complexity setting via VIM API & vCenter Host Advanced System Settings.New ESXCLI commands to add/modify/remove local user accounts.
Serial and parallel ports can now be removed.A virtual machine can now have a maximum of 32 serial ports.Increase in vSphere Host Configuration Maximums.As VMware announce the new release below are some of the new features that made the cut into the new version. Well there has been some public information out there for some time on some of the new features that will or maybe in vSphere 6.0, mainly information that has come from VMworld 2014 and some from the beta which although public did have some NDA with it.
