What two IT infrastructure components are virtualized by vSphere Essentials? (Choose two.)

vSphere Essentials virtualizes network infrastructure through virtual switches (vSwitches), virtual NICs, and port groups, allowing VMs to communicate as if connected to physical network hardware.

Application virtualization is a separate technology category (e.g., App-V, ThinApp) and is not part of what vSphere Essentials virtualizes at the infrastructure layer.

vSphere Essentials virtualizes storage by abstracting physical storage devices into VMDKs and datastores, allowing VMs to consume storage resources independent of the underlying hardware.

Management is not a physical IT infrastructure component - it is a function or capability, not something that vSphere virtualizes as part of its core infrastructure abstraction.
