VMware vCenter Mobile Access

As every morning I was browsing on the internet and read an amazing article about controlling your virtual infrastructure by logging into vCenter mobile access from your mobile device. I think almost everyone knows the situation in which you are occupied in a personal situation and all of a sudden you receive a call from work. Something is going wrong with your IT infrastructure and they need you to fix it. During the years a lot of remote access programs where made for IT administrators which can help you in a similar situation.

For these situations VMware is working on a program for remote access. The “VMware vCenter Mobile Access” or “vCMA” software makes it possible for an IT administrator to access your ESX infrastructure for remote management.

View triggered alarms
View performance charts
Network tools
VM power operations
VM Snapshots view / create / revert
VM Annotations
VM Hardware Settings
and many many more ……..

Above are just a few examples of what you are able to do with vCMA.

For access to the ESX environment you will need to deploy a virtual appliance called the “vCMA server”. Giving the vCMA server connections to individual ESX hosts or to your vCenter will then enable you to use a mobile phone to access your ESX environment.

Here you can find more information (including a video) about vCMA.
