Hi Emilio, I want learn more about VMware in practical and I don't have hardware much compatible to install workstation because I know basic things.....please suggest me can I do
Thank you! I start my internship tomorrow and this gave a beautiful rundown on VMware/vCenter/vSphere and ESXi as well, this has given me a boost of confidence. Best wishes!
even though I've worked with vSphere and ESXi i was still always confused about vCenter. I'm studying now before a very important interview . thank you!
Another great video. Already knew all of it after a few years in the field but still love watching your videos as a nice bit of back to basics revision!
Thanks for the clarification, i was looking for a simple explanation regarding the differences between Vsphere, Vcenter etc. Thanks for making it simple and not assuming anything.
I am working for VMware for 4 full months now as a web developer. I really had no clue for what and how exactly the products that the company develops are used. I am even working with the vSphere Client and HCX Migration tool on staging and dev environments.
What a fantastic video, excellent detailed explanation of this topic!!! Thank you so much!!! I did not know anything about VMware before but after watching this video ("as a recommedation from a friend") couple times I really understand the main concept of it and am very proud what I just learned!! I willl definetely subscribe to this channel from now on. All the very best Emilio!!
Thanks for sharing. Im trying to to get skilled in vmware/vsphere so I can help our vmware guy more as well as become familiar with our cisco apps thats on vms. I am also taking a udemy course on vmware too. I think I saw a couple of your courses on udemy too a while back. This looks very helpful.
Little bit confused about Vmware providing virtualization. Let me get this right, so we still have to go out and buy at least one "hardware server" with the RAM and CPU and Vmware is allowing us to build more "virtual servers" using that "hardware server's" resources being the RAM and CPU?
good vid.. Do u know or familiar w Sun's Solaris zones ?? Sun's hypervisor its proprietary virtual os. came out back like 2009-10 on Solaris v10, 11... Solaris 11 zfs zones still around kicking today. Now owned by Oracle .. Sun long gone. Did u ever do anything Solaris or on Sun hw? Is vmWare similar to Sun zones ? How can u test demo play w a vmWare box or system online without paying buying sw hw license ???? thxx great help!
I'm not an expert at Zones, but I read a bit about them just now and they seem to be very similar to Jails in FreeBSD or stuff you can do with cgroups in Linux. So, unless I'm very mistaken: It's not a hypervisor. There's only one Solaris kernel running. Each zone has what looks like its own install of Solaris (which often is just a filesystem trick that overlays an OS on top of the existing Solaris filesystems) and boots sort of like a VM, but without a lot of the hardware setup. The Solaris kernel partitions off different processes by zone, separating everything including things like IPC. The amount of partitioning is configurable, so you can have as much security and separation as you like. So there's no virtualization happening with Zones at all. It's a lot more like multiple versions of Solaris running on the same kernel. One nifty thing is that there's an emulation layer you can use in a Zone to translate Linux syscalls into Solaris syscalls. This allows you to run a Linux environment inside a Zone without actually running a Linux kernel. If you'd like to play with them without forking out a ton of money to Oracle, Illuminos (the open source fork of Solaris) supports them.
I wonder if it's useful to have esxi at home: I use my personal computer for gaming, and developing just a little (I already work as a .net developer, so my free time with my pc isn't mainly for developing, but for gaming xd) and playing sometimes with other os... I have an I5 with 16GB of ram and a GTX 1650... Is it worth the effort to install esxi and virtualize everything ? Thanks...
Hey, can you help me with this question please :-) : what is the easiest or fastest way to get a report from all ESXI machines about the workload CPU/Memory/GB usage of all of them? but listed to each ESXI. Instead of clicking each single Server in my vCenter?
You download the VCSA iso to your workstation/laptop and use the ui installer to deploy the vcenter appliance into the host. This will create a vCenter Server VM on the host. But mind you it needs min 2 cores and 12 gb to be assigned to this vcenter appliance vm.
Any 1 know if VMware vSphere can use DX12 games ? Also I like how vmwear lets me assign separate mouse to each vm. Does VMware vSphere let me assign a different mouse for each vm ? Also if it can do gpu partitioning like Hyper-V does ?
Hi Emilio, firstly, love your content!} Could you please make a video on VxRail vSAN sometime soon? I have been really confused by it, even after watching all the other videos on TH-cam. Thanks in advance!
what type of companies benefit from this? I kind of got that it's great, but how would it in practicality work? Who would need it? I was just looking for a new email provider and ended up here LOL, but it's interesting
Any company that has more than a handful of servers can benefit from virtualization. One advantage you get is that you separate your hardware from your servers. Whenever you upgrade or change your hardware, you set up the new hardware, migrate the VMs over, and you're done. You can also get redundancy, depending on your setup. If you're running a NAS, you can have several hypervisors running and move the VMs between them at will. If one hypervisor dies, another can automatically spin up that VM. That takes some extra coordination, but there's software (Microsoft's infamous Failover Cluster) and hardware (see Stratus for an example) solutions that can do this sort of thing. Another advantage is that a lot of servers don't need much in the way of resources. A domain controller today doesn't do a whole lost more than domain controllers did 20 years ago on Windows 2000. Unless you have a relatively large network, putting it by itself on modern hardware with tons of RAM is a waste. Better to virtualize it so it shares the same hardware as other lightweight servers. You can keep old server images around for reference. Copy the old VM off a site before installing a new one. If something on the new one doesn't work, you can spin up the old one and see how it used to work. I do this all the time, upgrading clients from FactoryLink (which went EOL back in 2007) to Wonderware. They're also useful for software that won't run on modern operating systems. I deal a lot with 20+ year old industrial hardware, and it's not uncommon to have software that won't run on anything newer than Windows XP. A VM of Windows XP is a lot more reliable than a crusty old laptop with 14 years of technicians' sandwich crumbs in the keyboard. My company develops and maintains industrial control systems that use multiple servers on each site. Once installed, these are usually firewalled off from the world so they're inaccessible from our end. We keep a virtual copy of our clients' systems on a server. If a tech at one of those sites calls us, we can spin up our copy of their site and investigate problems on our end. As a plus, if a client requests a change, we can change our copy, test everything, and then install it at their site with minimal downtime on their part. So yeah, VMs are nice. I was late to the game and skeptical at first, but I'm a convert today. I suspect I'd be less likely to use them on UNIX/Linux since there are better options there (Docker, Kubernates, Jails, etc.), but on Windows they're great.

Put it on x1.25 speed, trust me.
6 minutes in, and it’s 99% hardware talk… this whole comparison should only be 6 min.
Thank you
Thats worker🔥
Thanks, I put it on x1.5
i was already listening at 1.5, i listen to everything at 1.5

Glad it was helpful! Thanks
perfect video thank you, this is exactly what i needed, a quick run down of VMware and its virtualization solutions and terms, thanks Emilio
You're a great teacher! Thank you so much!
This cleared up my confusion for my virtualization course. Thanx!
You're very welcome!
great visual examples, clear English and very fluent explaining..
great overview thank you, prepping for a job but now I want to start my own homelab with VMware!
Thanks bro, very easy to understand for a beginner, well spoken. Loved this.

Awesome video covering VMware terminology.....
Looking for more
Keep it up Emilio!!!
Thansk for the nice comment.
Very good intro video！I learned a lot from this. It is just that esxi is not opreating system， but more just a system software
Wow, best video to understand basic VMware type 1 🙌🏼👍
Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment.
you're smart. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
glad it helped! thanks for the comment.
How would ESXi be used for a small business? Would there be Apis for print/mail/backup servers?
Is there a book you can recommend? I'm studying VMware with version 7
Thanks for this short Video. Got all I needed for the basics.
Great to hear!
I missed to post one comment - close to 10 months now - really your videos helped to crack my Interview 🫡 Thanks Emilio 🙌 “VMware”
Great job!
Great video Emilio. Explained very well.
Glad you liked it!
Great video on the basics, thanks!

Explain it to me like talking to a 5 year old
Love this video :)
very informative and cleared some doubts in my mind, thank you very much
glad it helped
How to check the user credentials is related to esxi or vcenter by using pyvmomi
Great introductory video. Thank you.
Glad it helped Brian. Feel free to checkout some of my other VMware vids for more info.
what a great explanation!!! thanks a lot.
Great content! Thanks for the intro!
Very impressive skills you sharing with us.
Hey, can you help me with this question please :-) : what is the easiest or fastest way to get a report from all ESXI machines about the workload CPU/Memory/GB usage of all of them? but listed to each ESXI.
Instead of clicking each single Server in my vCenter?
I think you can click on data center, the root of all of the vm's, and then there was an export button.
that watch you are wearing ? name or model or link to buy please :P
Thanks man. This was really helpful.
Glad to hear it!
Excellent overview! Thank you so much!
Tnq for the videos its helpful in 2024 also ❤
Chipmaker Broadcom makes $61 billion bid for this Dell cloud computing company VMware (VMW.N).
Good, straight forward explanation. Dummified for people like me =)
Thanks for the comment. Glad it helped.
Thank you so much! Everything I need to know well explained.
Perfect. Thank you
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment!
amazing intro to this new technology for me
So.. I have ESXi 7.0.1. where and how do I access and install vCenter?
You download the VCSA iso to your workstation/laptop and use the ui installer to deploy the vcenter appliance into the host. This will create a vCenter Server VM on the host. But mind you it needs min 2 cores and 12 gb to be assigned to this vcenter appliance vm.
Love your videos! Just bought your udemy course 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
YOU. ARE. AMAZING!
Great Overview about VMware ESXi etc.,
Any 1 know if VMware vSphere can use DX12 games ?
Also I like how vmwear lets me assign separate mouse to each vm. Does VMware vSphere let me assign a different mouse for each vm ?
Also if it can do gpu partitioning like Hyper-V does ?
Great content man!
perfect introduction
glad you liked it!
thanks mate, really appreciate the clarity
Great explanation. Thank you!!!
Easy to understand, great stuff.
John
i like this information, well understood, thank you emilio
please i want to ask, is the VCenter on a single server that has esxi installed , or on all the servers with esxi that is managed by Vcenter
nice explanation, Im studying cloud and infrastructure 🙂
Great 👍
You mentioned what is esxi host, what is vcenter but, you did not really explained what is a vsphere client :(
Thank you for great explanation :)
You are welcome!
Great video, helped me a lot.
You're welcome!
if i understand you vsphere have Esxi etc?
Thank you for this!
Sure, no probs
Very helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Perfectly explained. Thankyou!!
Great vid, thanks.

Excellent presentation ❤️
nice video, very well explained
very clear explanation. thank you.
Thanks for your video 👍
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
Thanks dude clear
No problem 👍
What is the difference between vsphere and vcenter?
vSphere includes vCenter and ESXi. vSphere is also the web client that is used to login to vCenter and ESXi hosts. Hope that helps
thx you a lot, now i understood what with i will work
