If you use VMware vSphere, do you plan to purchase a vCenter Server license? Are you wondering which version you should buy? This article will provide you the official table of vCenter release versions.
If you use VMware’s type-1 hypervisor VMware ESXi, you must also know VMware vCenter Server. vCenter Server is the centralized management utility for VMware, and is used to manage virtual machines, multiple ESXi hosts, and all dependent components from a single centralized location.
Now, vCenter Server is required for many advanced vSphere features. And as VMware vSphere evolved, so did VMware vCenter Server and its features. This article will briefly introduce VMware vCenter release versions.
▶ Multi-hypervisor management
Unique integrated management for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware hosts.
▶ Centralized vSphere control
Centralized control of the entire vSphere infrastructure from one place, so you can manage every vSphere function you need from any browser.
▶ Extensibility and scalability across hybrid cloud
Seamlessly extend your on-premises environment to vSphere-based public clouds, such as VMware Cloud on AWS, no matter which version of vCenter Server you are running. Large-scale management is now improved: Manage up to 2,000 hosts and 35,000 virtual machines with a single vCenter Server instance.
▶ vSphere High Availability
Timely VM protection by using vSphere HA to cluster virtual machines and their hosts. This feature performs automatic VM restart, so in case a server fails, vSphere HA will be responsible for the auto-restart of the VMs on other hosts. This also applies to VMs within the cluster.
▶ Plug-in extensibility
Plug-in extensibility allows IT, administrators, to seamlessly and easily manage third-party items in their data center directly from vCenter Server.
▶ …
As you may know, there are 2 options available for installing vCenter Server:
However, VMware has deprecated vCenter Server for Windows with the release of vSphere 6.7. According to VMware’s product announcement on August 25, 2017, the next version of vSphere will not include vCenter Server for Windows.
You can still install vCenter Server via downloading and deploying vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA). vCSA offers an easy wizard-based deployment and upgrade, makes it far easier than the Windows based installations of previous vSphere versions.
For more details you can refer to vSphere 6.7 Release Notes.
VMware vCenter Server has long been released with VMware vSphere. Since 2007, VMware vCenter Server has released many versions and updates. The historical versions include VirtualCenter 2.5, vCenter Server 4, vCenter Server 5, vCenter Server 6, vCenter Server 6.5, vCenter Server 7, etc.
To learn more official details, you can refer to the Build numbers and versions of VMware vCenter Server table provided by VMware.

If you just took over a vSphere management account, you might be wondering how can you determine what version of a VMware product you’re running? In fact, it is very easy. You can use the vSphere Client to determine the vCenter Server build number
Log in to the vSphere Client, select the vCenter Server and click the Summary tab. The build is located under the Version Information section.
vCenter Server is a very convenient official platform for centrally managing ESXi virtual environments and large numbers of VMs on it. A single vCenter Server instance can support a maximum of 1,000 hosts, 10,000 powered-on virtual machines and 15,000 registered virtual machines.
However, vCenter Server does not provide the feature of virtual machine backup. And that makes backup software a commonly accepted choice. Here I introduce you to a VMware backup software AOMEI Cyber Backup, it enables you to backup multiple VMs either managed by vCenter Server, or on a standalone ESXi host.
✦ Agentless Backup: create complete and independent image-level backup for VMware ESXi and Hyper-V VMs. ✦ Batch VM Backup: batch backup large numbers of VMs managed by vCenter Server, or multiple VMs on a standalone ESXi host. ✦ Multiple Storage Destinations: backup to local drive, or network destinations like Windows share or NAS. ✦ Automated Execution: create backup schedules to automate backups daily, weekly, monthly.
Next, I will show you how to backup multiple VMware ESXi VMs via AOMEI Cyber Backup. You can click the following button to download the 30-day free trial.
*You can choose to install this VM backup software on either Windows or Linux system.
1. Bind Devices: Access to AOMEI Cyber Backup web client, navigate to Source Device > VMware > + Add VMware Device to Add vCenter or Standalone ESXi host. And then click … > Bind Device.
2. Create Backup Task: Navigate to Backup Task > + Create New Task, and then set Task Name, Backup Type, Device, Target, Schedule, and Cleanup.
3. Run Backup: Click Start Backup and select Add the schedule and start backup now, or Add the schedule only.
Created backup tasks will be listed and monitored separately, for restoring, progress checking and schedule changing.
When restoring, you can also restore to new location to create a new VM in the same or another datastore/host directly from the backup, saving the trouble of re-configuring the new VM.
VMware vCenter Server is basically the brain of VMware vSphere. If you want to know what version of vCenter Server you should use, this article covers an official table of the vCenter release versions.
And since vCenter Server does not provide the feature to backup VMware ESXi VMs, you may also need a backup software to keep your data safe. You can try AOMEI Cyber Backup which is capable of attaching vCenter Server.
