Embotics has unveiled version 3.6 of V-Commander, it’s virtualization management system, ahead of next week’s San Francisco-based VMworld event.

V-Commander 3.6 allows organizations to gain complete control over their virtual environments without the need to invest the time, money and resources traditionally associated with deploying an enterprise virtualization management solution.

V-Commander 3.6 provides immediate analysis, decision support and management within 15 minutes of installation, as well as management and automation designed to reduce overall data centre complexity. Individual stakeholders can run their own reports, request additional VMs or power on, off or suspend VMs without having to involve IT administrators.

“We see the expansion and advancement of virtualized infrastructure in the industry continuing unabated, and the beginning of the transition to the private cloud. However, there are significant obstacles to virtualization and cloud, including managing a highly complex environment and a high learning curve. Customers need management solutions that offer next generation functionality, are comprehensive and fully integrated, as well as easy to deploy and use”, said Gary Chen, research manager, enterprise virtualization software at IDC

Built from the ground up for virtual environments, Embotics’ V-Commander 3.6 scales to more than 15,000 VMs, continually monitoring the environment and providing enterprise management.

Key V-Commander 3.6 components include:

  • Capacity, configuration and performance management
  • Self-service portal and scheduled reporting
  • Real-time VM inventory management and reporting
  • Full VM lifecycle management and policy driven automation
  • Change management and auditing
  • Troubleshooting tools
  • Multi-Hypervisor support (Microsoft and VMware)

Virtualization giant VMware has proposed a $362m takeover of Java framework specialist SpringSource.

VMware hopes the acquisition of the relatively small SpringSource will provide it with the talent to make its vSphere virtualization hypervisor and management layer work with cloud applications.

The takeover should be complete by early October 2009.
