What Is VMC 5000?

VMC 5000 is an affordable and easy to use virtual machine management solution. It is part of the Microsoft System Center suite, and can be used to manage a variety of virtual machines (VMs).

This solution allows IT administrators and end users to rapidly create, configure and deploy new VMs. It provides a central interface for managing the entire operation, status and availability of a VM.

It is also a powerful tool to support automation in the VM environment, enabling the creation of PowerShell scripts that automate common tasks. It also enables centralized monitoring of all the components of the VM environment, and helps detect problems before they become critical quik 5000.

One of the key components of this solution is the self-service portal, which can be configured to delegate virtual machine provisioning. This portal lets IT staff use predefined profiles to easily create new VMs.

Moreover, it can provide automated reports that can help determine the performance of all the components of a virtualized infrastructure, such as Hyper-V hosts, clusters and VMs. It also has a set of performance and status monitors that diagnose issues and perform root-cause analysis to reduce resolution time for issues detected.

As a result, this solution is especially useful for developing and testing environments that need to quickly and securely deploy VMs. Its graphical user interface is intuitive and makes it possible to work with the VM environment even without knowledge of the operating systems or the network architecture.

This product can be installed on a single or a multi-host environment to enable the management of the entire virtualized infrastructure. It supports Hyper-V, VMware, Citrix and Microsoft XenServer virtualization technologies.

It can be deployed on Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2008 R2 servers. It supports a number of features, such as built-in virtual disk and CD/DVD ISO image support, a centralized configuration repository that allows a single point of access to the VM configuration and a self-service web portal for end users.

The VM manager is responsible for determining the resource requirements of a VM, placing it on a server and performing VM migration to address dynamic workload changes. During this process, the VM manager may use two optimization procedures: semistatic and dynamic.

During semistatic optimization, the VM manager uses an initial set of VMs to identify the best VM placement solution based on resource requirements, previous assignments and feedbacks from power, thermal and performance sensors. The duration of this optimization period depends on the type and size of the datacenter and its workload characteristics.

In contrast, during dynamic optimization, the VM manager finds a temporary VM placement solution by migrating, creating or removing some VMs in response to any performance, power budget or critical temperature violations. This procedure is particularly helpful in situations when the VM manager has no access to prior workload information, such as in the case of live migration.

The VM manager can also use a specialized svchost command to create the underlying ESXi hosts, which in turn are used by the VMs. Similarly, it can use a script to convert the VMs from their native operating systems into VHDs.
