Techworld has a review about VMware’s newest addition to their VMware Server product line: VirtualCenter. Although this newest addition isn’t free, actually far from it: $1500, it seems that for a medium sized business that runs multiple servers hosting multiple VMs this product might be useful. Basically this new product is installed on one server then connects to all the other VMware Servers running and allows remote administration of each one in a centralized place. This is easier than connecting to each server individually to change a few settings and check on the server health. This tool also allows you to view the actual machine running inside VMware server from the same centralized place.
