Download details: Virtual Server Deployment Manager 1.3.0 (VSDM)
"Based on the concept of templates, VSDM manages the virtual library (templates and ISO images) in a simple and productive way. A 'must have' tool for Virtual Server customers that manage large number of machines or need to frequently recreate images based on a master image (template)."
The first thing that popped into my mind when reading this was, "Wow, what a cool Dev/QA tool..."
Setup right, think how cool this could be when used in a QA environment. A developer needs a QA system, they use this tool to create a VM and off they go. It reads that they won't even need local admin right on the host server...
Only downside I see is having uber-VM proliferation. So some kind of machine reporting would be needed, scheduled machine clean-up (cause you know as well as I that most people won't clean up/delete their VM's when they are done...), etc, etc.
But that's all besides the point of this sounding like something pretty useful.
I wonder if I can grab an old/out of warranty/yet still powerful machine to really give Virtual Server and VSDM a real trial... Got to be cheaper than having a bunch of desktops laying around?
