Vmware vCenter Server 8 Foundation is:
- It provides basic management necessary for smaller vSphere environments.
- It is limited in some features when compared to other versions.
- It only supports managing up to four vSphere ESXi hosts.
- This is true for vSphere starting with vSphere 6.5 Update 1 and above, older vSphere versions will support up to three hosts.
- vCenter Server Foundation does not come with vRealize Orchestrator, vCenter Server High Availability (VCHA), vCenter Server File-Based Backup and Restore, and does not support Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM).
- This version of vCenter Server is best suited for environments where there will be no more than four vSphere ESXi hosts to manage and no requirement of some of the business continuity features.
