Virtual Center linux client

Long time no blog…

My apologies to anyone who has emailed me lately. I promise to catchup with them soon. Things have been a bit buzy.

I unfortunately haven’t made it to VMworld this year, but have been following the news as much as I can. One great piece of news that I just read on Duncan Epping’s great blog:

…VMware just announced the fact that vCenter Server will be released as a linux virtual appliance in the future and the vCenter client will be cross platform available.

I assume that the vCenter client will be the VI4 equivalent of the VIC.

I have said many time before that the VC server should be a linux based VM. Looks like its actually going to happen. Yippee.

After a quick look at the available documentation (08Q4_VM_VC_Server_DS_EN_R1) it seems to still run on Windows and can be manged by any “Windows PC”

It looks like there will be Linux Server alternative:

Hopefully it will only be a matter of time before they make the client cross platform as well.

Based in Vancouver (Canada), I'm always looking for new virtualization projects.
