@@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ The following image shows the architecture for the Arc-enabled SCVMM:
 - Azure Arc-enabled servers interact on the guest operating system level, with no awareness of the underlying infrastructure fabric and the virtualization platform that they're running on. Since Arc-enabled servers also support bare-metal machines, there might, in fact, not even be a host hypervisor in some cases.
 - Azure Arc-enabled SCVMM is a superset of Arc-enabled servers that extends management capabilities beyond the guest operating system to the VM itself. This provides lifecycle management and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations on an SCVMM VM. These lifecycle management capabilities are exposed in the Azure portal and look and feel just like a regular Azure VM. Azure Arc-enabled SCVMM also provides guest operating system management, in fact, it uses the same components as Azure Arc-enabled servers.
 
-You have the flexibility to start with either option, or incorporate the other one later without any disruption. With both options, you will enjoy the same consistent experience.

 - Administrators can provide app teams/developers fine-grained permissions on those SCVMM resources through Azure RBAC.
 - App teams can use Azure interfaces (portal, CLI, or REST API) to manage the lifecycle of on-premises VMs they use for deploying their applications (CRUD, Start/Stop/Restart).

 | **Requirement** | **Details** |
 | --- | --- |
 | **Azure** | An Azure subscription  <br/><br/> A resource group in the above subscription where you have the *Owner/Contributor* role. |
-| **SCVMM** | You need an SCVMM management server running version 2019 or later.<br/><br/> A private cloud with minimum free capacity of 32 GB of RAM, 4 vCPUs with 100 GB of free disk space. <br/><br/> A VM network with internet access, directly or through proxy. Appliance VM will be deployed using this VM network.<br/><br/> Only Static IP allocation is supported and VMM Static IP Pool is required. Follow [these steps](https://learn.microsoft.com/system-center/vmm/network-pool?view=sc-vmm-2022) to create a VMM Static IP Pool and ensure that the Static IP Pool has at least four IP addresses. Dynamic IP allocation using DHCP is not supported. |
-| **SCVMM accounts** | An SCVMM admin account that can perform all administrative actions on all objects that VMM manages. <br/><br/> The user should be part of local administrator account in the SCVMM server. <br/><br/>This will be used for the ongoing operation of Azure Arc-enabled SCVMM as well as the deployment of the Arc Resource bridge VM. |
