5. What is vSphere 4? “VMware vSphere manages large collections of infrastructure (such as CPUs, storage, and networking) as a seamless and dynamic operating environment, and also manages the complexity of a datacenter.” - VMware Translation: vSphere 4 lets you create and manage a virtualized IT infrastructure to simplify and automate the administration of the physical server and network infrastructure while allowing you to maximize the hardware potential of that infrastructure.

6. ESX/ESXi 4.0 The Core component of vSphere 4 Type 1 Hypervisors ESX installs with a Service Console for local administration Service Console is a stripped down Linux OS ESXi administration is all done through a remote management interface Remote Management Interfaces: vSphere 4 Client Interface vSphere 4 Web Interface (not enabled by default on ESX) vShpere 4 Command-Line Interface vCenter Server 4

12. vCenter Server 4

13. Host Profiles Host Profiles Screen or Hosts and Cluster Screen

14. Centralized Licensing

15. vSphere Management Assistant The VMware vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) is a prepackaged Linux virtual machine in which administrators can deploy scripts and select third-party agents to manage ESX and ESXi systems. Software included in vMA includes vSphere CLI, an authentication component that supports non-interactive login, and a log collection component.

35. Available Infrastructure Services Virtual Disk Thin Provisioning vStorage VMFS Volume Grow vNetwork Distributed Switch IPv6 Support Power Management

36. Virtual Disk Thin Provisioning VMware thin provisioning enables virtual machines to utilize storage space on an as-needed basis, further increasing utilization of storage for virtual environments

38. IPv6 Support vSphere 4.0 adds support for IPv6 for the following: ESX/ESXiVMkernel, Service Console vCenter Server This enables vSphere to manage ESX and ESXi hosts through vCenter Server in mixed IPv4/IPv6 environments Virtual Machine client support for IPv6 is still entirely dependent on the Guest OS Network storage support (iSCSI and NFS) over IPv6 is still experimental though
