VMWare vSphere v5.1 Released

VMWare released version 5.1 of vSphere. It looks like a worthwhile upgrade.

Some of the improvements for SMBs:

  1. Vmotion now no longer needs centralized storage. VMWare has combined storage vmotion and vmotion together so you can move VMs without any downtime between ESX Hosts with local datastores
  2. Datastore replication is now included with vSphere so you can replicate datastores across the WAN without having to purchase SRM
  3. VMWare tools upgrades after v5.1 no longer require a reboot. I find I am always several revisions behind in my vmware tools because of the reboot requirement. This new feature is a big plus.
