VMware changed names for their product line
VMware has changed the names of their products. So there is no more Virtual Center but VMware vCenter Server for example… Quite (deroutante….f r…) new aproach. I’ve read this information on a blog of Jason Boche and then I said to myself that I might have look a bit closer to see what’s behind this. At the same time I’ll learn something, I’m sure. As you might already found out through my posts, I am not an expert of VMware or Microsoft. I’m just an average admin who want to learn more every day. I find doing this easier- through blogging… -:)
Basicaly there is 2 families of products at VMware. A Desktop Virtualization product family and Datacenter Virtualization products.
Datacenter products :
- VMware vCenter Server (formely VMware VirtualCenter) – there is ESX or ESXi,vCenter Server and VCB
- VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager
- VMware vCenter Lab Manager ( formely VMware Lab Manager) – see the video of presentation…
- VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager
- VMware vCenter Stage Manager
- VMware Capacity Planner
- VMware vCenter Converter (formerly VMware Converter) – I use VMware vCenter Converter Starter at home and for testing.
- VMware vCenter AppSpeed (formerly B-hive Conductor)
Destktop products:
- VMware View (formerly VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
- VMware ThinApp
- VMware ACE
- VMware Workstation
- VMware Fusion
- VMware Player (free product)
