VMware vSphere is a whole suite of VMware products.
It can be split into two sections, Infrastructure software & Application Software.
Infrastructure Software include components like:
- VMWare ESXi Server and all its components & vCenter server..
Application Software include components like:
vMotion, Storage vMotion, vCloud, VMware tools...To configure virtual machines, you use the VMware vSphere client, either web based or desktop software.
The vSphere client communicated with the vCenter server, which is either installed on a windows server or as a virtual appliance.
The high level workflow is
vSphere client->vCenter Server(s)->VMware ESXi hosts
