VMware Enhances Virtualisation Capabilities For SMEs

VMware, Inc has announced new features of VMware Go, a Web-based service that provides small and medium businesses (SMBs) with an easy on-ramp to virtualising their applications by automating the installation and configuration of the industry-leading hypervisor, VMware ESXi. VMware Go was developed in partnership with Shavlik Technologies, a member of VMware’s Technology Alliance Partner Program.

Another new feature of VMware Go is Collective Intelligence, which helps guide a customer’s virtualisation experience by aggregating user data to show virtualisation best practices. With Collective Intelligence, users can view what other users have done in each stage of the virtualisation. Additionally, users can view reports and dashboards with such information as the average number of virtual machines users are creating per VMware ESXi host, the top five hardware types on which the community is running VMware ESXi, or the top five virtual appliances that have been downloaded from VMware Go.

3. Manage VMware ESXi hosts and virtual machines
