# View ESXi server performance details

Unisphere supports the discovery of vCenters or ESXi servers (using a read-only user) and integrates the information into Unisphere. VMware information is connected to its storage extents, and enables investigation of any storage-related issues.

## About this task

This tabbed view contains the performance details for all storage groups that are related with the ESXi Server.

There are two sections in this tab. The top section consists of a list view that displays all the Storage Groups that were found and their performance metrics. On the bottom section, there is the noisy neighbor information that is displayed when you select a Storage Group from the top section.
