How to Buy VMware Infrastructure 3

The rich capabilities of VMware Infrastructure 3 are packaged into three editions to fit the needs and budget of any organization: Foundation, Standard and Enterprise. Each edition includes a hypervisor as well as a set of management capabilities. Customers can choose to deploy either VMware ESX or VMware ESXi. VMware Infrastructure 3 is available in English, German, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.           

VMware VirtualCenter provides centralized management for VMware Infrastructure so you can manage and administer your entire virtual environment from a single console. Although a VMware VirtualCenter agent is included in every VMware Infrastructure license, one instance of the VirtualCenter Management server is required to enable the central management capabilities of VMware Infrastructure.
