→The VMM 2008 Engine Layer
The VMM 2008 ''Engine Layer'' contains both the Virtual Machine Manager Server (VMM Server) component and the SQL Server database. As previously described in the chapter entitled [[VMM 2008 Components]], the VMM Server is the central component of the VMM architecture. All the other VMM components communicate with each other through the VMM Server. In addition, the VMM Server acts as the default VMM Library Server and provides an interface to the SQL Server database where configuration information about the virtualization infrastructure is stored.
A variety of protocols are used by VMM Server to communicate with the various other components in the architecture. As previously covered, WCF is used to communicate with the components on the client layer. Communication with managed Virtual Server and Hyper-V hosts and the VMM Library Server is performed using WinRM.
