Virtual Machine Remote Control Client Plus - V1.6

lynn lunik — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 09:32:00 GMT

Virtual Machine Remote Control Client Plus has revved to V1.6 (from V1.5 of course!) with some additional functionality and completion of functionality previously available within the Product. The author of VMRCC+ (the original Designer was Paul Despe - with Matthijs ten Seldam owning modifications and design beginning at V1.5 and going forward) has authored a good article in TechNet Magazine - October 2007 Edition that includes the download location for VMRCC+ V1.6. You will find information about VMRCC+ V1.5 in my prior Blog entry available here!

I use a number of Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Servers as part of my Consulting Practice and include VMRCC+ on every Virtualized Host Server. What a difference using VMRCC+ has made with ease of Administration, Configuration Modifications and efficiency in Organizing and Maintaining numerous Virtual Guest Files and Guest Sets. Matthijs offers insights into 'whats new' in the Blog entry listed below specific to VMRCC+ V1.6.

lynn lunik — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 15:18:00 GMT

In the much-heated Data Center objective to use 'virtualization technology' for Servers I field alot of questions about both EMC VMWare and Microsoft Virtual Server. I use both products but spend the bigger part of time using Microsoft Virtual Server. As such, I thought I would offer links to some of the resources with the clearest detail on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.
