Management hypervisors and integrated tools
• Management hypervisors host the various virtual machine appliances that make up the
CloudSystem solution. Both ESX and KVM hypervisors are supported.
• VMware vCenter Server acts as a central administrator for ESX clusters that are connected on
a network. vCenter Server allows you to pool and manage the resources of multiple hosts, as
well as monitor and manage your physical and virtual infrastructure. You can import and
activate ESX clusters in the CloudSystem Console after you register a connection with vCenter
Server.
VMware vCloud Networking and Security (vCNS) provides security for the ESX compute hosts.
• An HP 3PAR storage system provides a method of carving storage for boot and data disks.
Block storage drivers are imported from the HP 3PAR storage system to the CloudSystem
Console.
• An FC SAN, ISCSI or Flat SAN connects the HP 3PAR storage system to compute nodes or ESX
clusters.
