Open-VMConsoleWindow - Connection Type

Hello,

i coudn't find any answer on the question:

How does the vSphere PowerCLI connect to the VM via the command Open-VMConsoleWindow?

Does it connect to the host and the host connects to the VM or is it a direkt connection to the VM-bus?

And other question is, how demanding is it for the server? (sry if "demanding" isn't the right word for software, i didn't find a better one)

The reason why i ask these question is, that our employees are connecting at the moment to the VM's with the VMware vSphere Client.

But if more than 10 have a console open at the same time, the system is going to slow down, because it isn't made for that use-case.

We can't connect with RDP, because we have to make a VPN-Connection from the VM to an other computer, so it would cut the RDP-Connection to the VM.

Split-Tunneling isn't an option neither.

Back to the source: Is the connectin with PowerCLI a solution for our problem?

If no, do you know a workaround or a solution?

Does anyone have an answer on my questions?

Because the problem is getting worse with every new employee. If there is no solution with vSphere (or VMware generally) , we would have to change to a provider who fits our needs.
