What is vmwProdName?
vmwProdName reports the name of the VMware product running on this host, corresponding to the AboutInfo.name property exposed via the Managed Object Browser. Admins use it to quickly identify which VMware product, such as ESXi, is running on a given monitored system. For example, this object might return 'VMware ESXi' to identify the hypervisor software on the host.
