Makyo lets you copy virtual machines and vApps from one vCenter Server to another using a wizard in the vSphere Web Client. The said copy operation from one vCenter Server to another is done by starting an OVF export operation on the source server and an import OVF operation on the target server. No intermediate files are created when you copy a virtual machine or a vApp. The fling is installed as a plugin to the vSphere Web Client. Thursday, February 21. 2013

Release - Veeam Backup & Replication Cloud Edition
Many companies today choose to store a copy of their data off-site to protect against such disasters as storage failure, system crash or accidental errors. One of the most popular options for offsite backup is to use a cloud storage service such as Amazon S3, Windows Azure or Google Cloud Storage.
Veeam Backup & Replication Cloud Edition lets you leverage the secure online cloud services: you can now create backup files with Veeam Backup & Replication and keep them in the cloud. In case a disaster strikes and a local backup copy is lost, you can restore your data from the cloud at any time.
Veeam Backup & Replication Cloud Edition combines all the functionality of Veeam Backup & Replication together with Veeam Cloud Backup — a new component that offers a convenient and easy way to work with the cloud storage. Veeam Cloud Backup will help you to:
- Upload Veeam Backup files to the cloud
- Restore Veeam Backup files from the cloud
- Restore VM guest OS files directly from Veeam Backup files in the cloud
Veeam Backup & Replication Cloud Edition supports over 15 different cloud storage service providers including: Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Windows Azure, Google Cloud Storage, OpenStack, Rackspace, DreamObjects and HP Cloud. You can also use the File System option to copy data to local disks, SAN and NAS.

Latest Fling from VMware Labs - SilverLining – A vCloud Director 5.1 SDK for JavaScript
SilverLining is a VMware Fling that implements a simplified user experience to the cloud. The simplified workflows and interactions allow end users easily find virtualized applications and add them into their personal workspace. The Fling includes both a JavaScript SDK (vcloud-js-sdk) and a reference implementation (silverlining) to exercise the SDK. The implementation is created in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript and can be used as an example of how to create a custom UI that talks to VMware vCloud Director (vCD).The JavaScript SDK communicates with vCD 5.1 through the vCD API. A limited number of API calls are supported in this release. For a reference to the complete vCD API see http://www.vmware.com/go/vcloudapi for more information.
Once authenticated, the SDK will automatically fetch information about the vApps, Templates and VMs available to the user and store this information in an internal model. The SDK provides methods to work with the data in this model.
Using this model, the SDK can update the data independently of any UI display logic that needs to retrieve data from it. This is especially useful if there is any network lag or temporary disconnect since this data model acts as a cache. Any operations in the UI logic are not interrupted, unless there is a specific reason to communicate with the Cloud Director server, such as a power operation on a vApp.
This Fling includes the following features:
- A flexible vCloud Director 5.1 SDK for JavaScript implemented using vCloud API
- A reference implementation with a responsive UI done in HTML5, CSS and JavaScript
- Use of metadata feature to enhance the UI with custom attributes on templates and vApps
- Supports local storage in HTML5 to support offline mode
- Notifications system to support long running operations
- Separation of form and content of the backend processes from UI updates
- Easy install script
