Confused with the Versions and updates

I'm relatively new to vmware and I'm getting used to our current configuration I find myself confused.

As I am connected to VMware Infrastructure Client, I click on help and VMware Infrastructure. He says the customer is build version 2.5.0 147704 and Virtual Center is 2.5.0 build 147633.

When I look at my hosts, I see they are VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 176894

My question is, how do I update my hosts and also VMware Infrastructure, as appropriate.

I'm a bit confused, because I went through a class for vSphere 4 and I'm trying to understand the differences between the two.

Welcome to the Forums-Yes, it's confusing ESX 3.5 and Virtual Center 2.5 are the previous version of the flagship product of VMware and were components of Virtual Infrastructure 3, also called VI - 3 - with the release of the new version of VMware brings everything up to a common version 4 number so ESX/ESXi is now version 4-Virtual Center is now version 4 as well and has a new name vCenter - and are components of vSphere - love anywhere with the software updates you get the better performance and new features such as VMware Fault Tolerance, distributed switches, 8 vCPUs and 256Go maximum for virtual machines.
