I just did the Simple Install of vCenter of VMWare vSphere 5.5:<br />
<br />
1. vCenter Single Sign-on<br />
2. vSphere Web Client<br />
3. vCenter Inventory Service<br />
4. vCenter Server<br />
<br />
Everything installed without problems.<br />
<br />
Now, when I run vSphere Web Client on that machine, I don't see how to add or connect to my new vCenter Server. &nbsp;Under inventory I have 0 for everything and don't see how to add anything. &nbsp;If I try to read VMWare documentation, it all applies to 5.1 and doesn't seem to fit my installation at all.<br />

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

How do I get started using vCenter/vSphereWebClient 5.5?

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.
