Vsphere targets the mobile user with live feed "WHEN" the user wants it. The mobile device can be undefined, the mobile browser undefined as well as any computer [ Local / Remote ] should be able to connect to vsphere. How does VSphere Work ? VSphere functions at 3 levels:   The Image Server.   The camera System.   Connecting Clients - Local and Remote. Vsphere converts the computer on which it is loaded into a image server. The application then connects to the attached cameras. You can specify video codec, video display, video format and the video source for each camera connected. The properties page that will be displayed for each element will depend on the type of camera[s] connected to the system.

Just wanted to let you know that the download and updated information is available on the PowerGUI website at the following link.

---

•  Reorganized the PowerPack structure to facilitate easier management of multiple hosts and to allow users to retrieve objects from one or more of the hosts they are managing whether they are already connected or not.
• Added support for browsing the VMware Inventory hierarchy (includes Hosts and Clusters, Virtual Machines and Templates, Networks and Datastores), including being able to browse directly into the file system on the datastores.
• Added many new links and actions.
• Exposed many more VMware Infrastructure objects through topological views and through integration in the hierarchy.
• Improved the performance of many nodes, links and actions.
• Added single sign-on support (note that connecting to multiple hosts using the same username but different passwords is currently not supported, but we are working on that and will provide support for this soon).
• Tested management against Virtual Center 2.0, ESX 3.0x and 3.5, ESXi 3.5 and Virtual Server 2.0 (note: management of Virtual Center 2.0 requires version 1.0 of the VMware VI Toolkit).
• And more!

I received a message from Twitter telling me that lasrstr is following my updates. Before I’m following back, I checked out his profile and discovered vmfaq.com. This website is all about frequently asked questions regarding VMware like “I need more performance out of my VMware environment”. Lars Troen from Norwegian also created a nice little tool called vmktree, a free web tool that shows you the graphs of resource usage of VMware ESX Server, VMware Server (on Linux), GSX Server (on Linux) and a few other data center devices (ilo/ilo2/rsa2/ds4000). On VMware Server (and GSX) and ESX 3.x vmktree provides it’s own agent that collects system statistics and does not depend on vmkusage like it does on ESX 2.x. The version for ESX3.x is still in beta and is available for download here.

Rich Brambley over at VM/ETC did some great research, he found out what Veeam’s Christmas holiday gift will be.
