VMware Solutions components

IBM Cloud® for VMware Solutions provides automation to deploy VMware® technology components into IBM Cloud® data centers across the globe.

The offerings in this solution portfolio include VMware vSphere® products within an automatically deployed and configured cluster: VMware vSphere ESXi™, VMware vCenter Server® Appliance with an embedded Platform Services Controller (PSC), VMware NSX-T™, and optionally, VMware vSAN™.

The architecture consists of a single cloud region. You can extend into more cloud regions that are located in another geography and in another IBM Cloud pod within the same data center. A region is defined as a unique vCenter Server instance. This design also allows for automated expansion and contraction of virtual capacity within a vCenter Server instance.
