Vcenter Server 6 Download

Yesterday, 2018-05-03, VMware released an update to vSphere 6.5 meaning the latest release is now vSphere 6.5 Update 2. This is little more than two weeks since the vSphere 6.7 release and some features from vSphere 6.7 are backported to 6.5 U2. The most important things is vCenter Server single. VMware vCenter is a management software for your vSphere environment. It enables to manage from a single pane of glass all your VMware virtual infrastructure. Last month, VMware has released the vSphere 6.5 version which includes the vCenter. VCenter comes in two versions: A Software to be deployed. Oh sweet baby jesus!

  • How to easily update your VMware Hypervisor to ESXi 6.0 Update 2

You'll have plenty of time to read the release notes, once you kick off those downloads! Yes, vSAN 6.2 has arrived, read more at VMware Virtual SAN 6.2 Features Deduplication, Compression, and RAID5 or RAID6 over 10GbE.

I noticed the Download Manager isn't needed anymore, just use the Download Now buttons. You'll get up to about 20Mbps per download, and they come right from an Akamai CDN. Kick off two concurrent downloads, and you may get 40Mbps, if your ISP provides you with that kind of bandwidth.

Fresh Installs - download both ISOs

1) Download VCSA and ESXi 6.0 Update 2 - commercial license holder

1a) Registered commercial license key users can download the 6.0 Update 2 ISO

If you do want:

  • the ESXi 6.0 Update 2 ISO
  • the full vSphere 6.0 Update 2 with vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) for the FUN and useful stuff like vMotion

and you have:

  • you have a commercial license of vSphere

then here's the link for all that good stuff, or go right to the specific links:

EVALExperience/trial/free hypervisor owners doing a new install

What is you don't have a commercial license of vSphere?

Read all about EVAL Experience here:

Once you get signed up for your EVALExperience and make payment (it comes free with VMUG Advantage) membership, you'll get license keys and instructions for downloading. You have 60 days to 'play' with ALL features working during this trial period. To keep things easy, you should apply the license key before the 60 day trial ends, and it will then restrict you to only EVAL Experience features. Note, there is no VMware support included with EVAL Experience, and you may not be able to download the latest hypervisor and VCSA, I'm still looking into this.
