| Question | Answer |
| vCenter Single Sign-On | An authentication service that utilizes a secure token exchange mechanism rather than requiring components to authenticate users per component. |
| vCenter Server | The major management component in the vSphere environment. Its services include vCenter Server, vSphere Web Client, vSphere Auto Deploy, vSphere ESXi Dump Collector, and the components that were associated with the Platform Services Controller in prior versions: vCenter Single Sign-On, License Service, Lookup Service, and VMware Certificate Authority. |
| ESXi Server | The physical host (including the hypervisor) on which virtual machines run. |
| vSphere Replication | An extension to VMware vCenter Server that provides hypervisor-based virtual machine replication and recovery. |
| vCenter High Availability | A component that provides protection for vCenter Server Appliance against host, hardware, and application failures. Provides automated active/passive failover with minimal downtime. It can also be used to significantly reduce downtime when you patch vCenter Server Appliance. |
| vCenter Appliance File-Based Backup and Restore | A feature introduced in vSphere 7.0 that enables you to back up and restore the vCenter Server Appliance instances. |
| vMotion | A feature that provides live virtual machine migrations with negligible disruption from a source ESXi host to a target ESXi host. |
| vSphere HA | A feature provides automated failover protection for VMs against host, hardware, network, and guest OS issues. In the event of host system failure, it performs cold migrations and restarts failed VMs on surviving hosts. |
| Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) | A feature that places and starts VMs on appropriate ESXi hosts and hot-migrates VMs using vMotion when there is contention for compute resources. |
| Storage vMotion | A feature that performs live migrations with negligible disruption of VMs from a source datastore to a target datastore. |
| Fault Tolerance (FT) | A feature that provides automated live failover protection for VMs against host, hardware, network, and guest OS issues. |
| Distributed Power Management (DPM) | A feature that optimizes power consumption in an ESXi cluster. |
| Proactive HA | A feature that minimizes VM downtime by proactively detecting hardware failures and placing the host in Quarantine Mode or Maintenance Mode. |
| Content library | A centralized repository used manage and distribute templates, ISO files, scripts, vApps, and other files associated with VMs. |
| Host profiles | A feature that provides a means to apply a standard configuration to a set of ESXi hosts. |
| vSAN | A product that provides a SAN experience to your vSphere environment, leveraging local storage in the ESXi hosts. It tightly integrates with vSphere and is the leading Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) solution for providing a flash-optimized, secure, and simple-to-use SAN. |
| NSX | A product that adds software-based virtualized networking and security to a vSphere environment. |
| vRealize Suite | A suite of products that add operations (vRealize Operations Manager), automation (vRealize Automation), and orchestration (vRealize Orchestrator) to a vSphere environment. |
