Explanation

The vCenter can be protected by VMware HA but is a requirement for HA configuration. The vCenter is also a requirement for DRS, DPN, network vMotion, and vMotion. For cases in which functionality such as this cannot tolerate outages of several minutes in the event of a major event, VMware has a product called vCenter heartbeat. It can give true application protection without an outage to the vCenter application. Chapter 4, The Importance of vMotion, VMware HA, and Fault Tolerance
