Features
VMware vCenter Configuration Manager ensures enterprise-wide system compliance by collecting, storing, fixing, provisioning and managing configurations for servers and workstations across physical and virtual environments. With this critical data, Configuration Manager increases IT efficiency and lowers costs by eliminating the hassle and expense associated with using multiple tools for managing changes, provisioning, patches, configurations, remediation and compliance.
