Overview
As shown below, SoftNAS Cloud® operates within the VMware virtualization environment, typically on a VMware host that is dedicated as a NAS storage server. VMware virtualization provides the broadest range of device and resources, resulting in superior management and administration. And because SoftNAS runs within VMware, it inherits all the features and support that comes from VMware, including vCenter and other administration tools.
VMware vSphere client is a familiar entity in on-premise storage environments. It is considered the principal administrative interface for vCenter Server and ESXi environments.
After downloading and installing VMware vSphere, ensure that the most recent version of this client has been installed.
