Before implement and start to use some feature please be aware ….

  • Very useful feature `Auto Deploy` is not supported yet !
  • FT Not Supported yet !
  • No Backup solution via vDirector, you can not give backup service via vDirector yet !
    • Veeam
    • Netbackup
    • vSphere Data Recovery (Not For Enterprise)
  • vDirectore do not support MacOSX template now !
  • Reseller Option is not supported yet !
  • vShiled Endpoint not supported yet !
  • No socket and core relation like vSphere 5
