Project Overview:
This project involves evaluation of solutions as well as development of vCenter Server Simulator which is able to simulate large environments as well as very small scale ones suitable for unit testing.
VMware vCenter Server is an application server that manages many instances of VMware vSphere ESX server. This allows to effectively manage hundreds or thousands of Virtual Machines. VMware vCenter Server allows administrators to improve control, simplify day-to-day tasks and reduce the complexity and cost of managing an IT environment. It gives administrators deep insight into the status and configuration of clusters, servers (hosts), Virtual Machines, storage, the guest Operating System (Windows, Linux, Solaris etc) and other critical components of a virtual infrastructure – all from one place.
