VSICM55 - Slide 13-20 - vCenter Database Requirements

The slide graphic is a mess of wrong database versions being listed: the majority of what is shown there is outdated and refers to previous vCenter Server versions. Additionally, the second paragraph of the slide notes contains an incomplete statement about the version of the embedded database supported by vCenter Server running on Windows systems.

According to the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix for the Solution/Database Interoperability, the following is the list of the currently supported database versions:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005

• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard/Enterprise Edition (SP4) - 32-bit/64-bit

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (for the embedded DB)
