UCS Virtual Machine Manager (UVMM)

The cost-effective and easily manageable administration software for virtual infrastructures

UCS Virtual Machine Manager (UVMM) is a simple-to-use, high-performance administration service for virtual infrastructures, which is integrated in the UCS management system. With UVMM, virtual servers and clients, hard drive, CDROM and DVD images and physical servers - also in a cluster - can be centrally administrated.

UVMM offers all the necessary functions for creating and administrating virtual instances and hard drives on physical servers as well as their assignment to each other. Administrators benefit from the uncomplicated, standardised administration of physical servers and the virtual instances running on them as well as the ready-to-use, preconfigured configurations profiles.
