Vmware difference has been unclear before a series of products uses and between each other, and so much like the name, it is a headache, and now I have little reason clearly, ha ha:
vSphere, ESXI, vSphere client, vcenter and uses the difference between:
-
vSphere
vSphere is VMware's announcement of a set of packages, the company introduced a set of VMware server virtualization solution, similar to Microsoft's office, there are word, excel, onenote and other components, so vSphere is a software suite that is not You can install and use a specific software, and usually say vShpere is composed of ESXI, vSphere Client, vCenter and other components, is a "name that has other sub-components of the package." -
ESXI
ESXI vSphere core component is, the hypervisor is a (virtual server), a class management program for the server hardware virtualization, once ESXI, the underlying hardware can be installed on the virtual server, so that You can install the deployment of multiple virtual machines and OS, linux and windows can be on ESXI -
vSphere Client
Once you have ESXI, we need to manage it, it would have vSphere Client, vShpere Client is based on HTML5 / web management portal, administrators can access the vSphere Client to remotely manage ESXI server by logging web browser, but You can only manage a ESXi host, which for the enterprise is not able to meet demand, such as cloning virtual machines -
Server vCenter
vCenter Server can by all hosts and virtual machines in a data center unified management console is a centralized management application that can be installed on ESXI, also be based on linux, it can also be installed in other stand-alone server , as long as you can and esxi can communicate to manage ESXi, vCenter can log in through the vSphere Client.
