Frank Van Egmond who blogs over at VMTN.nl posted an article looking at the great features in esXpress 3.5.6 on Monday.
The article covers “New in 3.5 features” including:
- Automatic deployment of esXpress
- Hierarchical and policy driven configuration
- Definable host groups with all hosts assigned to that group using the same standard configuration
- Hosts can inherit their configuration from global and group policies
- Host level overrides for esXpress configuration
- Centralized Backup Targets – create backup targets one time and assign to hosts and groups
We were also glad to see he noticed that you can use esXpress out of the box with multiple version of VMware, so there is no need to wait for a move vSphere 4 to use virtual technology to back up virtual machines! Nice one Frank!
