"It all turns to on big jumbled mess." Truer words have never been spoken! I have been looking for information that was as clear as this was for a long time, and now I have found it!! THANK YOU!"
I have worked on project based on VMware workstation, but now I need to use and do projects on VMware vSphere and vCenter (for education) and had no clue about what these devices' features and functions. Now it will be easier to dive deep after watching this. Thank you.
Great video that clears up all the clouds about ESXi and VCentre. It really amazes me that VMWare does not have a single document which explains all this even half as clearly.
My boss is sending me to a esxi 6.7 class to learn more about it. I am more versed in hyper-v server and linux. I'm going to reconfigure my dell r620 at home with the free version to do some testing before the training. Thanks for explaining the differences between vsphere and vcenter. I will only be needing vsphere since I have a single host. Good to know. Your video is two years old, but still relevant and broken down in simpler terminology. Great for beginners. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
As a IT person, who was trying to explain all of this to my new coworkers, i will have to give you thumbs up, and you have earned my subscription with this one. Good job!
I have an interview @ VMWare in 2 days, i came from Microsoft AD and know nothing about this vmware stuff ! :D But once i starting digging for info, i was STUNNED ! And you, you sir are a GENIUS, the amount of info is SO GOOD! Very precise ! Thank you ! Wish me luck!
All the thousands of waisted hours writing manuals, creating support pages and forums and this guy just sums it so nicely in under 30mins. Just shows that you can have the best productin the world but if you dont have people like Rob Willis to spark your interest, then you still got nothing. Well done, been looking to do something like this.
Thanks to this genius. I was hell confused on what is the difference between ESXi interface and vSphere interface and how can I install them. It seems crystal clear now.
I have to ditto everything all the other commenters said. Great job, cleared up a lot of confusion. This has started me toward a great deal more productivity.
This is a good basic explanation. It took me a while to figure all this out, but the best way to learn is by doing. I paid for the vSphere Essentials, which is ~$500 and includes a lifetime license up to 3 hosts and comes with vCenter Server. You also have to maintain a support contract if you want updates/new versions, another $60/yr. However they do update the product about 1-2 times a year and it has come a long way since 6.0
Excellent explanation! Thank you for making this video, it really cleared everything up! I now have a pretty good understanding of how ESXi and vCenter work. I would love to see a lab video on DRS, vMotion, and HA. Cheers!
Superb Explanation on the options available for management of Virtual machines from VMware in terms of Free options and the enterprise versions available. Was super helpful on understanding the use cases for the vSphere and vCenter. Thanks for sharing !
Excellent explanation of things...I didn't realize that vsphere was what I was using straight out of the box on the single client so that's very helpful!
REALLY WELL DONE! VMware licensing and softwares is so confusing, i was literally hours trying to find a good explanation. It also doesn't help VMware uses so fancy and confusing naming for their software ESXi, Vcenter Vsphre..... I just mention to my father some of this names and he thinks that now I am a 'hacker' LOL
Hi Rob, It's the clearest and concise tutorial I have found so far. Very well done and thanks for doing that. I was confused about the vSphere architecture but now I have a clear conception.
Amazing video! Just finished studying basic networking where we really only got to play around with VirtualBox which is not good enough on it's own for doing what I want done. Very well made and clear!
If you are into networking, I strongly encourage you to continue down the VMware path of vSwitches, Distributed vSwitches, and then ultimately VMware NSX....they are doing some amazing stuff.
It is awesome that you are still responding to comments on this video. I’m hoping you can direct me to something a little more suited for my knowledge level (which is very low at this point). Let me preface this by saying that our IT guy left suddenly, and we are an office full of non-techies. Our office has one server and 10 windows desktops. The server hardware has VMware installed on it. That is really all we know. Is there a way for us to find out what server software is being run on it? I was voted to be the person to learn about this until we can get a real pro hired. I basically need to figure out how to consolidate a few tasks instead of having to go to each pc to run updates, etc. The IT guy had all of the info for the server. All I am able to see is that each pc is a member of a domain. Am I understanding correctly that Vmware is not the server, but rather controls a VM that runs server software? I hope I am asking the right questions. I appreciate any guidance you might be able to provide. In the meantime, I will continue watching videos and praying for a breakthrough. Thanks!!
I'm commenting after almost 2 years since you published this video. But, I can say that your video gives very clear and purposeful information about VMware vShpere. So, that home user can understand and utilize the VMware vShpere. Thank you. I do have a question, how is the performance of the virtual machine?
One of the best videos explaining vmware quickly. I am preparing for an IT interview and this one stood out from all the other videos. Do you have any slower paced, paid tutorials similar to pluralsight or CBT nuggets ? If yes I would love to buy it from you.
Great video. It was to the point and easy to understand. I applaud your work. You definitely cleared up a lot of confusion for in build my home lab. Thank you.
Great job, thank you! I want to learn ESXi. I've been repurposing my first-generation Ryzen desktop box to a NAS but ESXi doesn't like the NIC on my B350 motherboard. I want to add 10Gb Ethernet anyway, so I'll either pick up an Intel NIC or buy a used server.
My name is Richard and am into VFX and Animation am setting up my own DATA CENTER for Rendering ...many thanks...Jehovah Bless you.....Your videos are very educative.....i installed Microsoft Hyper-V 2016 and how to manage it was a DISASTER, BUT WITH vSPHERE from VMware from your well demonstration its like Magic. i will love to see a video tutorial on how to install vCenter in vSphere and mange Microsoft Hyper-V in it...
hi , help me please , i have one physical server and i install VMware esxi 6.7 and mount a lots of VM, but i dont serach how enable copy/paste between machines :( , i add the command lines : isolation.tools.copy.disable FALSE - isolation.tools.paste.disable FALSE , but dont works. help please ! have a great day

You're way of explaining things quickly and thoroughly is a skill my man. I don't know how you have the brain space for all of this.

Fast talking but very clear and with the relevant info. Possibile the most effective 20 minutes on this subject. Thanks.
Excellent explanation! Thank you for making this video, it really cleared everything up! I now have a pretty good understanding of how ESXi and vCenter work. I would love to see a lab video on DRS, vMotion, and HA. Cheers!
Thanks for the breakdown. I'm getting quite familiar with esxi but totally unaware of vcenter. It is much clearer now. Thanks Again!
Thanks for the Video. This is just an incredible refresher for me. The last version of VMware ESXi and Vcenter i worked with was version5.0
Crisp and Clear for someone new to Vmware. Thank you.
Superb Explanation on the options available for management of Virtual machines from VMware in terms of Free options and the enterprise versions available. Was super helpful on understanding the use cases for the vSphere and vCenter. Thanks for sharing !

Outstanding video on VMware, ESXi, vSphere and vCenter. You are an excellent instructor... Thank you so much for posting!
Thank you for the content, it was very clear, simple and covering all what we want to know about both vSphere and vCenter
This information is worth gold friend, very grateful for your explanations that go to the point and are very very useful.
REALLY WELL DONE!

You convinced me that a HERO really don't need a cape..... You are my Hero 😃
Great explanation this is my first year working in a VMware environment and this video was an excellent resource!!!!
This is really great way to start Vmware environment. Thank you for your effort!
Thanks Willis, you are wonderful!! Wishing you all the best...

@@robwillisinfo Thank you for the tip! Most likely will :D
Helped me understand and wrap my mind around vSphere and ESXi. Thanks alot
For a noob to VMWare, this was incredibly helpful. Perfectly clear explanation. Thanks a bunch!
Great Job on this! I can now understand the functions for vsphere and vcenter.
I just want to say thank you for such a simple clarification of how this works. Very detailed and easy to understand.
Nice combination of slides/theory, with showing the UIs as an actual example. Good work!
AWESOME TUTORIAL....PRECISE AND TO THE POINT. PLEASE CONTINUE.
THANK. YOU.
Finally some informative content on vSphere 🙏
Great explanation and illustration. Defiantly what I needed to understand the VMware infrastructure
