VMware vCenter Server 8 Standard
VMware vCenter Server 8.0c Standard is the centralised management platform for VMware vSphere environments. It gives you a single console to monitor, provision, automate and control all your ESXi hosts and virtual machines — whether they run in your local data centre, in the cloud or across a hybrid infrastructure.
With vCenter Server you move from managing individual hosts to orchestrating your entire virtualised estate. From a handful of VMs to thousands, everything is visible and controllable from one place.
