VMware vSphere vs. VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF)

VMware vSphere with VCF 9.1 is the enterprise workload engine that modernizes compute infrastructure with a future-ready, scalable infrastructure and simplified management that enables organizations to extract maximum value from their current server investments and hardware footprint, rather than requiring a total refresh. vSphere provides a powerful foundation for modern, AI and traditional workloads, while enabling intrinsic security out-of-the-box.

VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) is the enterprise workload engine built to optimize the IT infrastructure for organizations of all sizes by boosting operational efficiency, supercharging workload performance, elevating security, and accelerating innovation. It delivers intelligent operations management, purpose-built to enable the best performance, availability and efficiency from your infrastructure, while providing comprehensive visibility and analytics in one place.
