Microsoft System Center is a set of server management products which are aimed at helping corporate or enterprise IT administrators to manage their systems, which are usually a network of Windows servers and desktops. Though individually sold, the products are meant to work together in order to deliver unified management from a single point with each one serving a specialized purpose.

System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) is part of the System Center suite, used to configure, manage and transform traditional datacenters, and helping to provide a unified management experience across on-premises, service provider, and the Azure cloud.
