• Hyper9 Helps You Monitor and Manage Your Virtual Infrastructure for Free while at VMworld

  Concerned about keeping tabs on your virtual environment while at VMworld?  Hyper9 is here to help. You may have already heard about Virtualization Mobile Manager (VMM), Hyper9's Mobile Monitoring and Support product. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time! That's because we're offering it for free to all VMworld attendees - allowing anyone at the show to manage up to 1000 VMs while they're in San Francisco with us.  There's nothing worse than being out at a tradeshow and having someone call you from the office because a machine is "acting up" and you're the only one that speaks v12n.  Don't be "that guy" that has to pack up all his stuff and sneak out the back of the room during a breakout session to look for a PC or an available Wi-Fi connection.  Why not stay where you are and use your mobile phone and Hyper9's VMM to figure out the problem.     Use VMM to monitor host and VM performance statistics, control your VMs and take action - all from your mobile phone. VMM supports all major hypervisors and is accessible via a web browser or your iPhone, Blackberry, Google Android or Windows Mobile device. But that's not all.  While you're enjoying the free service, come by the Hyper9 booth for a demo of our latest Virtualization Optimization Suite (VOS) and we'll give you a free permanent license for VMM. Ready to get started?  Get your Free License Key today so that you can get your environment ready before you leave for VMworld.  Contact sales@hyper9.com or call 1-877-9HYPER9. Download the Hyper9 VMM datasheet for more information about the product. Posted Aug 19 2009, 03:47 PM by David Marshall with 1 comment(s) Filed under: vmm, mobile, vmworld
