The presentation link below previews the new VMware Virtual Center Plug-in. VMware Integration Toolkit and Virtual Center Plug-in
The DataCore VMware Integration Toolkit aids in the integration of DataCore storage services and management applications and the virtualization world of VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client. Tools in the toolkit automate the discovery of ESX hosts and virtual machines, adding them as application servers in the SAN, and the configuration of adapters and channels. Providing storage resources and monitoring them is conveniently provided by links in the snap-in to SANsymphony or SANmelody tools. The DataCore VMware Integration Toolkit provides tools to remotely monitor VMware Infrastructure Client via connection to VirtualCenters. The toolkit provides storage configuration, allocation, and monitoring from one convenient location to aid in the administration of virtual storage and virtual machines. The DataCore VMware Integration Toolkit includes two features: the DataCore Plug-in for VMware Infrastructure Client and the VMware Infrastructure Snap-in.
Harmony Overview - a Framework (Launch pad) for Adding New Storage Capabilities
Harmony has been developed as a framework (a launch pad) to make it convenient to supply new software capabilities for SANmelody and SANsymphony platforms. The basic Harmony framework is made available for DataCore customers via DataCore authorized partners. Harmony software integrates and delivers storage services and management applications from within a single Microsoft Management Console (MMC) framework. The Harmony framework allows new capabilities, like the VMware Integration Toolkit and forthcoming toolkits for other virtual server management systems, to be easily and rapidly integrated and made available to DataCore Partners. Partners can select which capability or "plug-in" is needed and add it to the SANharmony framework. The new Harmony framework delivers powerful storage services and management from within a simple-to-use MMC snap-in environment. Standard Microsoft Windows services and tools, Windows File Server Management services and tools, and DataCore SAN management services and tools have been conveniently provided under one umbrella in the Harmony Unified Storage Management Console.
