VESI and PowerGUI happy together again!

Yesterday with our 2.3 release, we brought EcoShell home. :)

Now there is no longer a standalone separate version of PowerGUI (which is what EcoShell – also known as The Virtualization EcoShell Initiative or VESI) specifically for virtualization management. You just download PowerGUI, which has VMware PowerPack and VI client integration right in the setup, with PowerPacks for other virtualization platforms available for free download.

VESI was a branch of PowerGUI shipped with virtualization PowerPacks and on its own release schedule. This allowed our virtualization team to get ahead in some features which were really important to the virtualization community – such as charts.

However, this also led to duplication of efforts and VESI was falling behind some other features which PowerGUI had. And this made lives of PowerPack developers more difficult because they had 2 (albeit similar) platforms to target.

With 2.3 release of PowerGUI, we have one product which has full functionality of both previous versions of PowerGUI and VESI – and this is our direction going forward. One product (and a set of PowerPacks) to better server all of the IT professional community including virtualization.

Welcome home, VESI! :)
