System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) is a centralized management tool for virtual infrastructures that allows administrators to deploy and manage virtual machines (VMs) across physical servers. It provides capabilities for rapid VM provisioning, increased server utilization through virtualization, centralized monitoring of the virtual environment, and delegated administration through self-service portals. SCVMM supports management of both Hyper-V and VMware virtualized environments from a single console.
