VMware vCenter Multi-Hypervisor-Manager 1.1 is for the environment with multiple hypervisor from different vendors. Let’s say you have Hyper-v hosts in your environment along with your VMware ESX/ESXi hosts. It is difficult to manage hypervisors from different management consoles like vCenter server and SCVMM. VMware vCenter Multi-Hypervisor-Manager reduces the complexity of managing multi vendor hypervisor from multiple management consoles. VMware vCenter Multi-Hypervisor-Manager allows to manage Hyper-v hosts form vCenter server. Now it allows the centralized management of ESX/ESXi and hyper-v hosts from vCenter server.
