VMware vSphere 6.x provides the foundation for the private cloud. VMware vSphere ESXi and VMware vCenter Server are the core components for virtualization management.

VMware vSphere 6.x includes a pair of VMware Platform Service Controller (PSC) Linux appliances to provide VMware Single Sign-on (SSO). VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) is the default deployment model for VMware vCenter Server with VMware vSphere 6.7 . VMware vCSA with embedded VMware PSC is the default deployment model for VMware vCenter Server for VMware vSphere 6.5.

VMware vSphere 6.5 are the last releases to support external VMware PSC deployment. Updates to both of these VMware vSphere versions support Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) in embedded PSCs, making external VMware PSCs no longer necessary. Upgrade to VMware vSphere 6.7 update 1 or VMware vSphere 6.5 update 2d to migrate external VMware PSCs to embedded PSCs.

The hypervisors are deployed as a cluster to enable dynamic allocation of resources, such as CPU, memory, and storage. The cluster also provides workload mobility and flexibility through VMware vSphere vMotion and Storage vMotion technology.
