VMware urged customers in June to make the switch to vSphere 7, released earlier in 2020, describing it as вЂњthe biggest enhancement to ESX in over a decadeвЂќ and featuring the ability to run containerised applications natively on vSphere, вЂњimproved operations capabilities such as workload-oriented DRS, and enhanced intrinsic security.вЂќ vCenter Server 6.7 uses the HTML5-based web client as compared to Adobe Flash client in vCenter Server 6.5.вЂќ VMware recommends that users вЂњupgrade vCenter Server 6.5 instances to vCenter Server 6.7 and manage the ESXi 6.5 hosts using the upgraded vCenter Server 6.7 instances. The extension comes with caveats: Adobe Flash was killed off at the end of 2020, but vCenter 6.5вЂ™s client needs it.

VMware cited вЂњchallenges for some of our customers with regards to IT operations and strategic planningвЂќ resulting from a wholesale shift to remote working for the decision. The move follows June 2020вЂ™s decision to also extend support for vSphere 6.7 through to October 15, 2022. VMware is giving vSphere 6.5 and vCenter 6.5 users 11 monthsвЂ™ reprieve before ending support - which was due to end in November 2021.
