The management cluster hosts the virtual machines which are responsible for managing the cloud. Both compute clusters and management clusters are created by using SoftLayer bare metal vCenter Server, NSX Manager, NSX Controller, vRealize Operations Management, vRealize Log Insight, vRealize Automation, and other shared management components which reside on these servers.
