VMware has opened a "virtual reality data center experience" that applies a virtual reality overlay on your vSphere product to give you a virtual view of virtual machines.
The company demonstrated this code for the first time to VMworld Europe after having been flogged in a previous hackfest.
The tool tries to replicate the vSphere functions as actions in virtual reality. Examining a virtual machine becomes a matter of picking up. Moving a virtual machine between hosts requires that the user retrieves it in VR and then places it on another server. The removal of a virtual machine can be achieved by dropping it on a tray.
In a demonstration that the vForum Sydney registry has seen today, the transfer of a server from a local site to the AWS cloud can be done by starting a server. VMware's operations director, Sanjay Poonen, also showed that he had a new server, which allowed the servers to migrate the helicopter's propellers to a new host, where they floated. before going back down in a controlled manner.
Here is a general description of the tool's demonstration.
And here is where you can find the tool itself.
If you want to try it, you should use vCenter 6.5 and have vSphere Cluster configured with at least one ESXi host and have HTC Vive at your fingertips.
You will also need a historical perspective, since this is not the first time you have tried this kind of thing. Computer Associates, which now insists on being simply called "CA", has created a VR interface for its Unicenter business management suite around 1997. And fortunately, Archive.org has kept the two videos below. to take a look at this.
The first only lasts 30 seconds. If you have time to consider the second, tie yourself up for three minutes minutes of golden advertiser. ®
