vCenter Server is Simplified and Efficient Server Management Software
Centralized visibility, simplified and efficient management at scale, and extensibility across the hybrid cloud—all from a single console.
VMware vCenter Server provides a centralized platform for managing your VMware vSphere environments, allowing you to automate and deliver a virtual infrastructure across the hybrid cloud with confidence.
What vCenter Server Does
Simple Deployment
Quickly deploy vCenter Server as a pre-packaged, optimized, and easy-to-maintain virtual appliance. Integration of VMware vSphere Update Manager into vCenter Server Appliance makes patching and upgrading fast and easy. RESTful APIs allow for the easily repeatable deployment of vCenter Server Appliance from a template, speeding up deployment times as well as reducing human error. Migrate from complex vCenter Server with External PSC topologies into an easier-to-manage simplified architecture of vCenter Server with Embedded PSC using the vCenter Server Converge Tool.
Extensibility
Seamlessly extend your on-premises environment to vSphere-based public clouds, such as VMware Cloud on AWS, no matter which version of vCenter Server you are running.
Centralized Control and Visibility
Administer your entire vSphere infrastructure from a single location.
Management
Use powerful tools to simplify management and extend your control, now including vRealize Log Insight*.
Proactive Optimization
Allocate and optimize resources for maximum efficiency with vCenter Server.
