Connect Your vCenter Server to VMware Cloud Gateway

Connect your vCenter Server to VMware Cloud Gateway to monitor your vSphere infrastructure from vSphere+.

When you connect your vCenter Server to VMware Cloud Gateway, it establishes a connection between your vCenter Server and vSphere+.

Prerequisites
