  • Page 3 Understanding VMware infrastructure The following components make up VMware infrastructure: Virtual machine—A virtual machine is a software-based computer capable of running an operating system such as Microsoft® Windows® or GNU/Linux just as if the operating system is installed on a physical machine. Host—A host is a physical machine running platform virtualization software such as ESXi.
  • Page 4 Virtual machine communication network—A virtual machine communication network is built on the traditional, general-purpose communication network. As with physical servers, virtual machine traffic is brokered through a general-purpose network if the virtual machines are on different, discrete servers. Virtual machine communication on the same physical server is handled by a virtual switch within the server.
