Mastering VMware vSphere 6, Marshall N., Orchard G., Atwell J., 2015

Mastering VMware vSphere 6, Marshall N., Orchard G., Atwell J., 2015.
      
   This book is written with a start-to-finish approach to installing, configuring, managing, and monitoring a virtual environment using the VMware vSphere 6.0 product suite. The book begins by introducing the vSphere product suite and all of its great features. After introducing all of the bells and whistles, the book details an installation of the product and then moves into configuration.




VMware vCenter Server.
Stop for a moment to think about your current network. Does it include Active Directory? There is a good chance it does. Now imagine your network without Active Directory, without the ease of a centralized management database, without the single sign-on capabilities, and without the simplicity of groups. That's what managing VMware ESXi hosts would be like without using VMware vCenter Server. Not a very pleasant thought, is it? Now calm yourself down, take a deep breath, and know that vCenter Server, like Active Directory, is meant to provide a centralized management platform and framework for all ESXi hosts and their respective VMs. vCenter Server 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 (Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle are both supported, among others) that stores all the data about the hosts and VMs.

In previous versions of VMware vSphere, vCenter Server was a Windows-only application. Version 6.0 of vSphere still offers this Windows -based installation of vCenter Server but also offers a prebuilt vCenter Server Appliance (a virtual appliance, in fact, something you’ll learn about in Chapter 10, “Using Templates and vApps”) that is based on SUSE Linux. Having a Linux-based vCenter Server Appliance is a great alternative for organizations that don’t want to deploy a Windows Server instance just to manage the vSphere environment.
