Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis is an article realized for StarWind blog and focused on the design and architecture of VMware vCenter and PSC topologies. See the original post.
You can “federate” multiple vCenter Server systems using vCenter Linked Mode (introduced in vSphere 4.0) to build a single pane of glass and share information between vCenter instances, like view and manage the inventories of all the vCenter Server systems that are linked.
