Microsoft SCVMM 2008

Microsoft has released System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008. SCVMM is aimed at centralizing and simplifying the management of VMs running on Hyper-V, Virtual Server or even VMware virtualization solutions. I had the chance to deploy SCVMM 2008 at work and so far it has proven to be very useful and efficient. I now have a central point to manage both the production and development environments that includes VS 2005 and Hyper-V hosts.

SCVMM 2008 has several great features and is well designed. Some features include creation of VM templates, OS and hardware profile, moving VMs from one host to an other one, physical to virtual and also converting VMwares VMs to Hyper-V.
