VMware vCenter Server
VMware vCenter Server is the simplest and most efficient way to manage VMware vSphere, irrespective
of the number of VMs you have. It provides unified management of all hosts and VMs from a single
console and aggregates performance monitoring of clusters, hosts, and VMs. VMware vCenter Server
gives administrators a deep insight into the status and configuration of compute clusters, hosts, VMs,
storage, the guest OS, and other critical components of a virtual infrastructure. A single administrator
can manage 100 or more virtualization environment workloads using VMware vCenter Server, more than
doubling typical productivity in managing physical infrastructure. As shown in
vCenter manages the rich set of features available in a VMware vSphere environment.

VMware vCenter Server Plug-Ins
vCenter Server plug-ins extend the capabilities of vCenter Server by providing more features and
functionality. Some plug-ins are installed as part of the base vCenter Server product, for example,
vCenter Hardware Status and vCenter Service Status, while other plug-ins are packaged separately from
the base product and require separate installation. These are some of the plug-ins used during the
FlexPod validation process.
