What's New in vSphere 6.0 ( Content Library)

Content Library is one of the New feature that bundled with vSphere 6.0



brief info:

Managing a virtual data center becomes a challenge as companies grow in size and complexity.  Creating, sharing, and migrating virtual machines and other content (such as VM templates, ISO images, and OVFs) become cumbersome without a central repository and processes to facilitate these actions.  Additionally, managing content can be extremely inefficient, especially if that content is shared among many users and sites. For example, it is unproductive for 100 users to be patching the same VM template when this should be done by a single administrator and then shared.  It is necessary to have simple and effective management that supports the entire virtual machine lifecycle.  The management should be intuitive to use and provide operational efficiency at scale.

vSphere 6.0 simplifies management of virtual data center content and infrastructure through a combination of new features. Content Library provides simple and effective management for content including VM templates, ISO images, and scripts. With Content Library, it is now possible to store and manage content from a central location.  Furthermore, once the content is stored, it can be easily shared through a publish/subscribe model, even for VMs that span the boundaries of vCenter Servers.  Finally the stored content can be quickly deployed from the Content Library directly onto a host or cluster for usage.  This means that it is now possible for a single administrator to manage the content for many users.  Users can now subscribe to content, access it when it is ready, and deploy it from the Content Library directly into their environment.
