What’s New in the VMware vSphere 6.0 Platform
vSphere Web Client
vSphere Web Client includes significant performance and usability improvements.
The performance improvements include login times that are up to 13 times faster, right-click menus that are
visible and usable four times faster, and other actions that are now at least 50 percent faster. This puts
vSphere Web Client on a par with the standalone VMware vSphere Client™.
The usability improvements include a new drop-down menu that enables users to navigate to any area of
vSphere Web Client regardless of which area they currently are operating in. The right-click menu has also been
flattened, which enables right-click operations to be consistent across the UI. The task pane has been relocated
to the bottom of the screen, making it easier to view Recent Tasks, which update in real time. The UI is also
dockable, enabling administrators to customize their UI.

vSphere vMotion
vSphere vMotion capabilities have been enhanced in this release, enabling users to perform live migration of
virtual machines across virtual switches, vCenter Server systems, and long distances of up to 150ms RTT.
These new vSphere vMotion enhancements enable greater flexibility when designing vSphere architectures that
were previously restricted to a single vCenter Server system due to scalability limits and multisite or metro
design constraints. Because vCenter Server scale limits no longer are a boundary for pools of compute
resources, much larger vSphere environments are now possible.
vSphere administrators now can migrate across vCenter Server systems, enabling migration from a Windows
version of vCenter Server to vCenter Server Appliance or vice versa, depending on specific requirements.
Previously, this was dicult and caused a disruption to virtual machine management. It can now be
accomplished seamlessly without losing historical data about the virtual machine.
