There are several reasons why you should deploy vCSA:

• Being a packaged and installed vCenter, the deployment is quick, and you only need to supply a few details.
• The embedded PostgreSQL database supports up to 2,000 hosts and 35,000 VMs, so there is no difference in configuration maximums between vCenter for Windows and vCSA.
• No need for extra Microsoft Windows licenses. Since VUM is now embedded, there is no need for a separate Windows box.
• Having now identical features, it's only a matter of time before VMware drops the vCenter Windows version permanently.
• vCSA 6.7 runs on Photon Linux OS and generally is a more secure OS compared to Windows.
• Less hardware to use since vCSA can be deployed only as a VM. This allows you to reduce costs.

After having analyzed the reasons for making vCSA the preferred choice for your vCenter Server and the benefits it brings, let's walk through the installation process.
