VMware Virtual Infrastructure Overview
VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3) provides an innovative mechanism for
organizing and viewing any virtual infrastructure built on its platform. Using a unique
combination of physical and logical components, this mechanism effectively and
efficiently fulfills VMware’s vision of the modern virtual infrastructure.
vFoglight Cartridge for VMware accommodates customers of all sizes that leverage
VMware’s VI3 virtualization platform by examining and enhancing VMware's
eminently knowledgeable view of the virtual world.
Figure 1 highlights the components or objects that make up a typical VI3
implementation. This figure makes a clear distinction between objects that exist in the
physical world and those that are considered to be virtual.
