VM Latency Sensitivity – included with the new virtual machine compatibility level comes a new “Latency Sensitivity” setting that can be tuned to help reduce virtual machine latency.

This new controller is of particular benefit when virtualizing Mac OS X as it allows you to present a SCSI based CD-ROM device to the guest. Virtual Machine Compatibility ESXi 5.5 (aka Virtual Hardware 10) – ESXi 5.5 provides a new Virtual Machine Compatibility level that includes support for a new virtual-SATA Advance Host Controller Interface (AHCI) with support for up to 120 virtual disk and CD-ROM devices per virtual machine.Along with the improved power savings comes additional performance boost on Intel chipsets as turbo mode frequencies can be reached more quickly when CPU cores are in a deep C-State. By leveraging the deeper CPU sleep states ESXi can minimizes the amount of power consumed by idle CPUs during periods of inactivity. Improved Power Management – ESXi 5.5 provides additional power savings by leveraging CPU deep process power states (C-states).With the increased adoption of SSD, having the ability to perform both orderly as well as unplanned SSD hot-add/remove operations is essential to protecting against downtime and improving host resiliency. Hot-pluggable PCIe SSD Devices – vSphere 5.5 provides the ability to perform hot-add and remove of SSD devices to/from a vSphere 5.5 host.There is virtually no workload that is too big for vSphere 5.5! The maximum number of logical CPUs has doubled from 160 to 320, the number of NUMA nodes doubled from 8 to 16, the number of virtual CPUs has doubled from 2048 to 4096, and the amount of RAM has also doubled from 2TB to 4TB. Doubled Host-Level Configuration Maximums – vSphere 5.5 is capable of hosting any size workload a fact that is punctuated by the doubling of several host-level configuration maximums.Summary of new features and capabilities available in vSphere 5.5 I’m sure I missed some things, but this list should help you get started with learning about what’s new in vSphere 5.5. In an effort to try and get my head around all this exciting new “stuff” I decided to go through the what’s new paper and compile a brief summary (well, relatively brief anyway). This latest release includes a lot of improvements and many new features and capabilities. On August 26th at VMworld 2013 VMware announced vSphere 5.5, the latest release of VMware’s industry-leading virtualization platform.
