VKernel Launches Free Virtual Machine Documentation Tool

SnapshotMyVM quickly documents and inventories all virtual machines in VMware
ESX environments

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- VKernel Corporation, a provider of
easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy virtual server management solutions, today
launched a new free virtual machine (VM) documentation tool for VMware ESX
environments. SnapshotMyVM, a standalone application, quickly documents and
inventories all VMs to eliminate costly manual processes.

"Documenting physical servers is one of a system administrator's least
desirable and time-consuming tasks. In a virtual data center, it becomes even
more challenging as the environment is dynamic, and static documentation
quickly becomes outdated," said Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel.
"SnapshotMyVM automates this process, making it extremely easy and efficient
to identify, document, and inventory all VMs in the virtual data center."

SnapshotMyVM is a quick-to-deploy, standalone Windows application. Within
minutes, the free tool completely automates the time-consuming documentation
process, collects dozens of important VM attributes, and creates detailed
reports. Users can export their documentation to XML formatted files to save,
edit, customize, archive, and share them with others. Some the information
SnapshotMyVM collects, includes:
-- VM name
-- Guest operating system
-- Host hardware type, manufacturer, and version
-- VM resource (CPU, memory, storage, network) configurations
-- VM resource utilization statistics (save a week of historical data)

SnapshotMyVM is the third free tool from VKernel to help system administrators
overcome the day-to-day challenges of successfully managing and growing their
VMware environments. Other free tools offered by VKernel include the
"Google-like" search utility, SearchMyVM and the CompareMyVM community site
where users learn how to right-size VMs. SnapshotMyVM can be downloaded here:
