vCenter Server 6.0 - Platform Services Controller
Platform Services Controller includes takes it beyond just Single Sign-On. It groups:Single Sign-On (SSO)LicensingCertificate Authority
Two Deployment Models:•Embedded
vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in one virtual machine
- Recommended for small deployments where there is less then two SSO integrated solutions
•ExternalvCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in their own virtual machines
- Recommended for most deployments where there are two or more SSO integrated solutions
Platform Services Controller

•Provisions each ESXi host, each vCenter Server and vCenter Server service with certificates that are signed by VMCA
New vCenter Server solutions for complete certificate lifecycle management:
vCenter Server 6.0 - Certificate Lifecycle Management for vCenter and ESXi
While you can decide not to use VMCA in your certificate chain, you must use VECS to store all certificates, and keys for vCenter Server and services.All ESXi certificates are stored locally on the host.
VMware Endpoint Certificate Service (VECS)
VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA)
•Stores all certificates and private keys for vCenter Server and vCenter Server services•Managing VECS is done via vecs-cli

vCenter Server 6.0 -Cross vSwitch vMotion
•Transparent operation to the guest OS•Works across different types of virtual switches
–vSS to vSS–vSS to vDS–vDS to vDS
•Requires L2 network connectivity–Does not change the IP of the VM
•Transfers vDS port metadata

vCenter Server 6.0 – vMotion Requirements
•ESX & vCenter 6.0+ at both source and destination•SSO Domain
–Same SSO domain to use the UI–Different SSO domain possible if using API
•250 Mbps network bandwidth per vMotion operation
–Unchanged from previous versions
•L2 network connectivity on VM network portgroups
–IP addresses are retained
•VM UUID maintained across vCenter server instances
–Not the same as MoRef or BIOS UUID
•Data Preservation
–Events, Alarms, and Tasks History
•HA/DRS Settings
•Affinity/Anti-Affinity Rules
•Automation level
•Start-up priority
•Host isolation response
–VM Resource Settings
•Shares
•Reservations
•Limits
–MAC Address of virtual NIC
•MAC Addresses preserved across vCenters
–Always unique within a vCenter
–Not reused when VM leaves vCenter
