Hi Johnson

Here is a brief overview with the new features - also you will find on youtube a lot of information with helpful explanations (e.g. vSphere 6.7 - What's New - YouTube). The vCenter 6.7 has new features in the area of Lifecycle, Monitoring and Management, HTML5 Client, CLI, Backup Scheduler > Introducing vCenter Server 6.7 - VMware vSphere Blog

Scale Enhancements – New configuration maximums to support even the largest app environments

VMware vCenter Server® Appliance Linked Mode – Support linked mode for vCenter Server Appliance with embedded Platform Services Controller, link multiple vCenters with no load balancers needed

VMware vCenter Server® Appliance Back Up Scheduler – Schedule vCenter Server Appliance backups. Full REST APIs for Backup and Restore

Single Reboot – Dramatically reduce upgrade times by skipping a host reset (vSphere 6.7 – ESXi: Single Reboot and vSphere Quick Boot - YouTube )

Quick Boot – Reduce patching and upgrade times by rebooting the ESXi hypervisor without rebooting the physical host, skipping time-consuming hardware initialization (VMware vSphere 6.7 Quick Boot | vSphere - YouTube )

Support for 4K Native Storage – Support high capacity drives to get enhanced performance at scale

Improved HTML 5 based vSphere Client – Added functionality and easy management of connected components such as VMware NSX®, vSAN™, vSphere Update Manager (VUM)and third-party components

Security-at-Scale – Policy-driven security that makes securing infrastructure operationally simple

Support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and virtual TPM – Enhanced security to protect the hypervisor and guest operating system against unauthorized access (vSphere 6.7 Support for ESXi and TPM 2 0 - YouTube / vSphere 6.7 support for Virtual TPM 2 0 - YouTube )

Cross-vCenter Encrypted vMotion – Encrypted vMotion capability across different VMware vCenter® instances and versions

Support for Microsoft’s Virtualization Based Security (VBS) – Run Windows VMs performant and securely on vSphere (vSphere 6.7 support for VBS and Credential Guard - YouTube )

NVIDIA GRID vGPU Enhancements – Support for suspend and resume capabilities for vGPUs, to improve host lifecycle management and reduce end-user disruption

vSphere Persistent Memory – Support for persistent memory, exposing it as block storage or as memory, to enhance performance for new as well as existing apps

Hybrid Linked Mode – Unified visibility and manageability across an on-premises vSphere environment running on one version and a vSphere based public cloud environment, such as VMware Cloud™ on AWS, running on a different version of vSphere

Per-VM Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) – EVC is now an attribute of the VM instead of the processor generation, enabling seamless migration of workloads between on premises and the cloud

Cross-vCenter Mixed Version Provisioning – Simplify provisioning across hybrid cloud environments that have different vCenter versions
