Broadcom's VMware division re-entered the low-end virtualization market with vSphere Express, designed for smaller deployments. The product includes vMotion for live VM migration, automated VM restart, distributed switching, non-disruptive patching, and TPM support. Each instance operates discretely without central management, targeting organizations with simpler infrastructure needs. VMware emphasized the product suits small implementations and won't support deployments across thousands of cores.

Key points

  • vSphere Express targets low-end server virtualization market
  • Supports up to 128 processor cores with vMotion and auto-restart
  • Discrete instances without centralized management for simplicity
  • Addresses market demand for basic core virtualization platforms
