VMware vSphere6.0 introduced with lot of new enhancements and feature addition as compared with the previous versions of vSphere.

New Configuration Maximums of vSphere 6.0:

  • vSphere 6.0 clusters now supports 64 Nodes and 8000 VM's  ( which was 32 Nodes and 4000 VM's in vSphere 5.5)
  • vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA 6.0) supports up to 1000 Hosts and 10,000 virtual machines with embedded vPostgres database.
  • ESXi 6.0 host now supports up to 480 physical CPUs and 12TB RAM ( Which was 320 CPUs and 4 TB in vSphere 5.5)

  • vSphere 6.0 VM's will support up to 128 vCPUs and 4TB vRAM (Which was 64 vCPUs and 1TB of memory in vSphere 5.5)
