vSphere 6 supports up to 10 vCenters linked together in Enhanced Linked Mode, and up to eight PSCs to support the environment. vCenters and PSCs can be deployed on the same site, or across multiple sites.

The embedded deployment is the topology with the least complexity. The embedded deployment topology is suitable for a small, single-site, single-vCenter environment. In this topology, the PSC and vCenter Server are installed on the same virtual or physical machine. This is represented in the following diagram:
