The older masking feature involved applying manual masks to individual virtual machines. EVC takes effect on a whole cluster and all virtual machines in the cluster. More accurately, EVC affects the hosts themselves, making all the hosts in the cluster appear to be the same type of CPU hardware, even if they are different.
