3.  the virtualization layer that serves as the foundation for the rest of the product line
 ESX vs ESXI

4.  provide a centralized management platform and framework for all ESXi hosts and
their respective VMs
 allows IT administrators to deploy, manage, monitor, automate, and secure a virtual
infrastructure in a centralized fashion
 To help provide scalability, vCenter Server leverages a backend database that stores
all the data about the hosts and VMs.

5. component of vCenter Server
Functionality:
 Scans to identify systems that are not compliant with the
latest updates
 User-defined rules for identifying out-of-date systems
 Automated installation of patches for ESXi hosts
 Full integration with other vSphere features like Distributed
Resource Scheduler

7.  Virtual SMP allows users to:
 • Run resource intensive applications in virtualized environments.
 Run enterprise application such as databases, and ERP or CRM, in
virtual machines.
 Scale computing environments without adding new
 hardware. Allow multiple processors to work together on a workload and
increase utilization of existing resources.
 • Improve software development and deployment. Create
 development and testing environments that are more realistic and can be
quickly and easily deployed.
