vCenter Server Appliance Limitation Improved

[#1]

Current vCenter Linux  Appliance had limitation of maximum 5 Hosts and 50 VMs due to embedded database. With the release of vSphere 5.5, vCenter Server Appliance now uses a reengineered, embedded database that can now support as many as 500 vSphere hosts or 5,000 virtual machines

Hi MunishPalmakhija,

The actual numbers for the vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 are as follow:

With Embeded Database: 100 Hosts and 3,000 VMs

With External Database: 1,000 and 10,000 VMs.

I have written a post about that few days earlier as it seems there is a lot of confusion out there on these limits. You and your reader can find my post at: vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 limitations

Thanks,
