Employees supervision

Hello everyone,

I would like to have help with a solution that a client asked me about the possible supervision of several virtual machines:

- Real-time visualization of the display of the screen or screens if there are several (Like the principle of a screen with several cameras but we will instead have the virtual machines in progress

- Recording the display of the screen or screens if there are several

- Capture screen display or screens if there are several every 5 minutes (configurable)

- Possibility of blocking access to the internet from the virtual machine (for data security)

- Possibility to retrieve data via the host machine blocking access to the internet from the virtual machine (for data security)

I would like to know if all this is feasible using a tool specific to vmware since the client use vmware horizon for the creation of the virtual machines of the collaborators. Otherwise, if there is another solution compatible with the vmware environment.

Thank you  !

Regards,

you may need different tools for the different use cases.

A cool one for being able to view multiple desktops as once is:

It's an opensource project.   Used for classrooms but seems that it'll do well on your first bullet point.

We used to use a product called LanSchool which can probably accomplish the viewing of the system, but not really sure on the security requests. You may want to look into some of the Guidance Software products, they own EnCase and Tableau duplicators.

EDIT: Guidance is now "OpenText Software"

Sounds like you are looking more towards the forensic side of things rather than a monitoring/collaboration viewpoint.
