VMware Delivers Open Interface To Virtual Infrastructure
VMware Inc announced the availability of the VMware Virtual Infrastructure
SDK. The VMware Virtual Infrastructure SDK provides standards-based interfaces
that enable ISVs, partners and customers to control VMware virtual
infrastructure and to integrate into existing management frameworks.
The VMware Virtual Infrastructure SDK provides comprehensive interfaces to:
- Create, delete, copy and clone virtual machines.
- Define and create virtual machine templates and virtual peripherals.
- Set resource policies for virtual machines, including virtual CPU, memory,
disk and network allocations.
- Monitor virtual machine performance over time including CPU, memory, disk
I/O and network utilization.
- Control VMotion -- a revolutionary technology that enables the migration of
a running virtual machine to a different physical server without loss of user
service.
The VMware Virtual Infrastructure SDK incorporates a Web services interface
that uses the SOAP and WSDL standards so that developers can program in their
choice of environments, such as Java or Visual Studio .NET. The VMware Virtual
Infrastructure SDK, including WSDL interface description, extensive sample
code and programming guide, can be downloaded at
www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk .
VMware is committed to supporting a broad community of partners so that
customers who standardize on VMware virtual infrastructure can benefit from
best-in-class software solutions. Among the first to integrate their
management and utility computing solutions with VMware virtual infrastructure
are leading enterprise vendors Altiris, BMC Software, Computer Associates,
Fujitsu-Siemens Computers, HP, IBM and LEGATO Software and emerging solution
vendors Enigmatec Corp, Evident, MetiLinx, PlateSpin, Platform Computing,
Surgient and Sychron.
"With more than 5,500 enterprise server customers deploying virtual
infrastructure, it's crucial for us to build on our commitment to
standards-based interoperability with customers' existing management
strategies and to provide an open API for next generation policy engines to
use," said Michael Mullany, vice president of marketing at VMware. "The
tremendous early adoption of our SDK by a broad range of systems management
partners underscores the value virtual infrastructure is delivering today."
