Achieve the highest levels of efficiency, automation, simplicity and security in managing a virtualized IT environment of any size with VMware VirtualCenter. VirtualCenter lets you rapidly provision virtual machines and monitor performance of physical servers and virtual machines. VirtualCenter intelligently optimizes resources, ensures high availability to all applications in virtual machines and makes your IT environment more responsive with virtualization-based distributed services such as VMware DRS, VMware High Availability (HA) and VMware VMotion.

 

Provision, monitor and manage your virtualized IT environment through a single interface:

Simplify the provisioning of new virtual machines with wizard-driven processes and templates that allow the deployment of new virtual machines—instantly.  

Operational automation through task scheduling and alerting improves responsiveness to business needs and prioritizes actions needing the most urgent attention.

Automate routine management tasks with task scheduling and alerting.

Monitor performance and utilization of physical servers and the virtual machines they are running with detailed reporting of CPU, memory and I/O performance.

Limit access to authorized personnel using tiers of customizable roles, fine-grained permissions and integration with Microsoft Active Directory.

Integrate with 3rd party systems management products through the VMware Infrastructure SDK.

Optimize resources with VMware DRS, which dynamically balances capacity and ensures service levels.

Migrate live virtual machines across entirely separate physical servers with VMware VMotion and conduct non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments.

Enable cost-effective application availability independent of hardware and operating systems using VMware HA.

The VMware VirtualCenter agent is included in all VMware Infrastructure editions. The VirtualCenter Management Server is licensed separately
