Multi-Hypervisor Virtual Machine (VM) Management Solution
vControl is a VM management solution that provides self-service provisioning, multi-VM control and task-based automation.
vControl lets VM consumers build and deploy VMs for themselves, while providing administrators a single interface for task-based
administration of VMs. Furthermore, vControl allows organizations to automate manual and repetitive tasks, helping to reduce VM
administration costs, improve management consistency and enabling a most cost-effective solution for high availability in the data
center.
Working across multiple platforms, including VMware ESX/ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V,Citrix XenServer, and Sun Solaris Zones, vControl gives administrators the power to manage single or multiple VMs, one by one or simultaneously, and to implement pre-configured or self-built workflows and scripts to aid automation.

vControl Features:
vControl is designed to help virtual machine (VM) administrators reduce administration costs and improve management consistency through the following features:
Self-Service Provisioning
vControl provides a system for consumers to build and deploy VMs for themselves through customizable VM templates. This allows VM consumers to select a standard VM package via the web or customize it for their specific needs. For VM administrators, vControl's workflow capability builds and deploys the VMs, saving administration time and effort, while a VM approval process enables IT to approve, reject or make changes to VM requests.
Multi-VM Control
vControl offers a browser-based interface that enables control of multiple platforms, including VMware, Hyper-V, XenServer and Sun Solaris Zones. Easy-to-trigger workflows provide task-based administration of VMs simultaneously. Further, vControl is browser-based for global access.
Task Automation
vControl provides a system that provides out-of-the-box workflows and actions. Additionally, VM administrators can use a visual workflow editor to build new workflows, combine actions and incorporate homegrown scripts. vControl also offers a Web services interface and SDK that can be used to accept requests from incident management solutions, for example.
Task-Based High Availability (HA)
vControl offers a simple solution for VM high availability (HA) failover that enables primary and secondary failover, mixed infrastructure failover and rapid VM recovery. This helps organizations reduce costs to support high availability (HA) with unlimited HA support for all VMs.
Virtual Infrastructure Discovery
vControl helps VM administrators discover hosts and VMs that exist within and identified IP range helping administrators quickly identify and include infrastructure resources. This can help reduce VM configuration and setup times while preventing oversights.
Integrate Virtualization EcoShell™
Introduce automation into the virtual infrastructure with the integration of Virtualization EcoShell and vControl to eliminate repetitive and mundane tasks.
