VKernel Releases “Google-Like” Search Utility for VMware ESX Server Environments

VKernel Corporation, a provider of virtual appliances for managing virtual server environments, has released a free, search utility for the purpose of finding information quickly within a VMware ESX environment.

Currently in beta, the VKernel SearchMyVM has been described as a “Google-like” search interface users can use to find their virtual machines, hosts, clusters, storage, resource pools, files, snapshots, VMware tools, applications and configuration information.

Some 75 different types of attributes are fully indexed and available to customers for search.

“As dynamic virtual environments continue to rapidly grow in size and scope, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to find even the most basic information,” said Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel.

“Our SearchMyVM virtual appliance enables users to easily query and find the information they are looking for. By making it a free product, we can help IT administrators find information quicker as well as demonstrate how simple all of our virtual appliances are to use and deploy.”
