What is data center virtualization? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Data center
virtualization is the conversion of physical hardware devices into software
resources. The hypervisor (ESXi) talks directly to the physical hardware,
presents virtual copies of hardware to virtual machines, and isolates virtual
machines from each other.
vMotion - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Enables running virtual machines to be migrated
from one ESXi host to another without experiencing any downtime, both
ESXi hosts must be connected to the same shared storage and must share
common networking. Change the location of the VM itself (suspends VM
and copies bitmap of VM from one host to another and resumes it on new
host) This transfers the RAM and System State Data of VM without
changing the disk location.

, Storage vMotion - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Enables running virtual machines to be
migrated from one data store to another without experiencing any
downtime. Operates on data stores.
vSphere Long Distance vMotion - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Migrates VMs across
WAN links with little to no latency. (max 150ms RTT latest documentation
100ms RTT over WAN)
vSphere Data Protection - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A solution for backing up and
restoring virtual machines. Creates a backup of the entire virtual machine,
performing virtual machine restores. Enables local and off-site disaster
recovery. Allows restoration of the replicated backup data to a new target
location or to the source location. Checks VMware tools heartbeat.
vSphere Replication - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Is a hardware-independent
technology that allows running virtual machines to be replicated to another
site. At the level, storage independent and mobile. would be considered a
small-scale disaster-recovery/disaster-tolerance solution since it is used to
bring back smaller sections of the environment after a smaller disaster.
Fault Tolerance (FT) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Enables a mirror to be created of a
virtual machine. As changes are made to the original virtual machine, they
