Hyper9, a leading provider of virtualization management solutions based in Austin, announced today the availability of the beta version of the Virtualization Mobile Manager (VMM), a browser-based management and monitoring tool that enables systems administrators to control their virtual infrastructures from a mobile device.
Created by Andrew Kutz, a well-known developer in the VMware community, VMM enables remote network control, extended scalability and multi-platform support, meaning it can be used with VMware Server 2, VMware Infrastructure 3, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer 5, among other hypervisors.
Besides the ability to work across multiple platforms, VMM also offers the ability to monitor host and VM performance statistics (CPU, Memory), control VMs and take action on the go (start, stop, pause, reset and disable network). In addition, the application is optimized to work with almost any mobile device, including the Apple iPhone, Blackberry, Google Android and Windows Mobile Devices.
“After talking with Hyper9 customers and other VI administrators, we realized that administrators wanted the freedom to remotely monitor and manage their virtual infrastructure,” said Chris Ostertag, CEO and founder of Hyper9. “In creating VMM, we have given administrators a powerful, yet cost-effective tool that will make their lives easier.”
The beta can be downloaded at the Hyper9 website, or in the Hyper9 community.
Will Hyper9 support mobile administration of VSphere 4.0? If not, when is this functionality expected?
Blackberry is supported per your web site. Which models?
Also, I see that it is in beta right now. Will there be a cost for the product? What is the cost structure based on?
