8.0

Table Of Contents
vSphere Distributed Services Engine does not require a separate ESXi license. An internal network
that is isolated from other networks, connects the DPUs with ESXi hosts. ESXi 8.0 server builds
are unified images, which contain both x86 and DPU content. In your vSphere system, you see
DPUs as new objects during installation and upgrade, and in networking, storage, and host profile
workflows.
