Overview
Simplifies dramatically the management of storage for virtualized environments. The plug-in is easily installed and then provides a user interface that discovers all ESX or Xen servers and all VMs on the servers. Users can establish replication policies for each VM and can perform common VM management tasks such as stopping and starting VMs.
Also, NexentaStor and VMDC can be used for cloning via the 'template' functionality of VMDC to dramatically accelerate provisioning of identical VMs.
Note that while this plug-in is specific to VMware and Xen servers, NexentaStor performs well providing NFS or iSCSI storage to a variety of virtualized environments. You do not need this plug-in to use NexentaStor behind virtualized environments, however it will save you time and improve the flexibility of your environment.
