VirtualCenter For VMware Server review
Thursday, 22 March 2007 by Michel Roth
Techworld.com has reviewed the new VirtualCenter for VMware Server: "With the launch of its free VMware Server product last year, EMC subsidiary VMware was clearly looking to tempt cost-conscious small businesses into its server virtualisation fold. However, the one thing the product lacked was a centralised management console, requiring each host server to be administered separately. Until now, with the release of a new version of VMware’s VirtualCenter application, designed specifically to manage the free server product.

The new VirtualCenter is in fact an update to the tool used to manage VMware GSX and ESX Server deployments, with support for VMware Server added along with a number of other minor tweaks. However, it’s important to understand that there’s still no support for VMware Server in the more advanced Virtual Server 2.0 application included in the vendor’s enterprise platform, Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3)."
