Special Hyper9 VMM Beta Program Perks Available For VM /ETC Readers

Monitor and Manage VMs on the Go with Virtualization Mobile Manager (VMM) now available in beta from Hyper9. VMM Sound familiar? That’s because Andrew Kutz previously released VMM on his lostcreations.com web site before he joined the Hyper9 team and became responsible for H9Labs. However, this latest version has broadened it’s support to include not only VMware ESX and ESXi, but also VMware Server, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer 5. If I am not mistaken, that makes VMM the first multi vendor virtualization management tool in existence (mobile phone or otherwise) that can administer and monitor guests on all the major platforms.
The VMM beta is now available to the entire virtualization universe at the link above, but Hyper9 has a special offer for VM /ETC readers that comes with some exclusive perks:
- automatic entry to win a mobile device in a contest starting in June
- a limited edition Hyper9 t-shirt (in exchange for some VMM feedback)
- 50% discount should you choose to purchase
Be one of the first 15 readers to comment on this post to take advantage of this invitation. Be sure to use a valid email address so that Hyper9 can contact you about the beta download, your shirt, and more.
What is VMM? Hyper9 describes the product and it’s features as follows:

- Control VMs and Take Action on the Go (start, stop, pause, reset, disable network)
- Optimized for Mobile Devices (Apple iPhone, Blackberry, Google Android and Windows Mobile Devices)
Supported Hypervisors
- VMware Server 2
- VMware Infrastructure 3.5 Hosts (VMware ESX 3.5, ESXi 3.5, VirtualCenter 2.5)

Supported Platforms
- VMM is hosted as an Apache Tomcat Web application

Hyper9 also has a working demo of the full and lite web interfaces (screen shot at the start of this post). Go here for demo access instructions.
I wonder if Hyper9 will eventually combine the mobile phone functionality that VMM provides with it’s flagship search based management, monitoring, and reporting tool? Sounds like a great roadmap to me, but I am just speculating.
