VMware ESXI server virtualization cluster

summary

VMwarev Center Server provides a scalable and extensible platform that provides the foundation for virtualization management. VMware vSphere can be centrally managed, greatly improving IT administrators' control over virtual environments compared to other management platforms.

VMware vCenter Server: Improve centralized control and visibility at every level of your virtual infrastructure, unlock the potential of vSphere through proactive management, and is a scalable, extensible platform with broad partner ecosystem support.

Whether you have a dozen virtual machines or thousands, VMware vCenter Server is the easiest, most efficient way to manage VMware vSphere. VMware vCenter Server enables unified management of all hosts and virtual machines in a data center from a single console that aggregates performance monitoring capabilities for clusters, hosts, and virtual machines. VMware vCenter Server provides administrators with deep visibility into clusters, hosts, virtual machines, storage, guest operating systems and other key components of a virtual infrastructure from a single location.

With VMware vCenter Server, virtualized environments become easier to manage, allowing a single administrator to manage more than 100 workloads and double the productivity of managing physical infrastructure.
