What’s vSphere Central?

The God (VMware) is releasing new version of their products every year, sometimes you’ll get new notification about new patches every day. Thank you about all efforts but please slow down! Installing new versions or upgrading current versions need to installation/upgrade instructions. The instructions are like Holy Bible for any administrator. So who is the messenger? Who has the Holy Book? Fortunately, The God has sent the messenger and God called it vSphere Central.

vSphere Central brings together a variety of technical assets from VMware that helps users understand how vSphere works, how to implement various features, plan upgrades, and more. With content in a range of formats, including text, video, and rich media tools such as walk-through demos, the goal is to be a one-stop shop for original and curated technical content on vSphere.
