VMware VirtualCenter is virtual infrastructure management software for businesses that want to build cost-effective next generation computing environments and optimized data centers. VirtualCenter provides a central point of control for your data center's virtual computing resources, driving flexibility, efficiency and responsiveness.
What features does VirtualCentre provide?
The management of an entire VMWare solution is centrally managed through VirtualCenter Management Server. VirtualCenter reduces time, effort and complexity of data centre management by letting you:
- Monitor and control all your VMWare servers and virtual machines from a single view or "dashboard"
- Organize your VMWare server hosts and virtual machines into logical units of farms and groups
- Restrict access and delegate fine-grained permissions to administrators and users based on existing Windows authentication mechanisms
- Create and configure virtual machines
- Monitor and adjust virtual machine resource usage
- Build template virtual machines to be used for rapid provisioning
- Clone and customize virtual machines
- Migrate running virtual machines between VMWare server hosts with Vmotion
- Schedule tasks and set alarm triggers that generate automated notifications and alerts
- Automate control of virtual machines with the VMWare Software Developer's Kit (SDK)
