VMware vSphere 5.1 – Available for Download

VMware vSphere 5.1 is now available for download which is exciting news for all you out there who want to get your hands on VMware’s latest point revision of their industry leading virtualization offering.  As I wrote about in my vSphere 5.1 “What’s New” post, there are plenty of new enhancements and features to whet the appetite of most IT vGeeks, who will no doubt be kicking off their vSphere 5.1 downloads as soon as they hit the office today.

Along with VMware vSphere 5.1, the new “Cloud Suite” is also now available which offers a combination (depending on the version of Cloud Suite) of the following popular vSphere products;

• vSphere Data Protection
• vSphere Replication
• vSphere Storage Appliance
• vCenter Orchestrator Appliance
• Cisco Nexus 1000V Virtual Ethernet Module
• vCloud Director
