Final answer:
The recommended PSC deployment models in Enhanced Linked Mode are Embedded PSC, where the PSC is part of the vCenter Server, and External PSC, which is separate from the vCenter Server, but the latter is being deprecated.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Enhanced Linked Mode for VMware vSphere environments, the recommended Platform Services Controller (PSC) deployment models are:
- Embedded PSC: This configuration integrates the PSC within the vCenter Server.
- External PSC: PSC is installed on a separate server, external to the vCenter Server.
As of vSphere 6.7, VMware advocates the use of Embedded PSC due to its simplified architecture and improved performance. The External PSC is being deprecated and therefore is not recommended for future deployments. The Linked PSC and Standalone PSC are not officially recognized terms in the context of VMware PSC deployment models...
