One last query:<br />
We have Sitescope that's run from vCenter. &nbsp;Can point me to<br />
link(s)/URL that give instructions/guides on how to extract<br />
&amp;&nbsp;query the utilization/capacity reports?

Anyone has any capacity management guide. &nbsp;Ideally it touches<br />
topics like<br />
<br />
a) at what utilization of a datastore, we need to consider increasing<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; the datastore's capacity<br />
b) when to increase vCPU, disk &amp;&nbsp;RAM for a VM<br />
c) how do we chart / track the various resource utilizations<br />
d) when's a cluster &amp;&nbsp;ESXi host's total CPU &amp;&nbsp;RAM needs to be increased<br />

Capacity management guide for Cloud VMWare

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.
