Efficiently distribute virtual machines and keep them current with patches and updates over time
Efficient web distribution
VM Express master-and-delta imaging technology makes web distribution of VM content practical, completely eliminating the need to distribute updates on media.
Save money
VM Express dramatically reduces storage size saving you money on duplication, packaging, postage, and related services. Some customers reduce storage by 80% or more.
Reduces update size
Even large updates see dramatically reduced file size which results in reduced storage requirements and fewer discs translating into saved money and time.
Usage reporting capabilities
VM Express is web services enabled, allowing you to know who is accessing what and when.
Accelerates deployment
Images can be downloaded and deployed to a running state in minutes. This capability dramatically improves user experience, saving time for users who otherwise have to spend hours “babysitting” VM deployments.
Keep content relevant
Expired or errant content can be removed from the catalog allowing you to keep the content fresh and maximally relevant to your users.
Organizes content in an attractive catalog
The VM Express client makes large volumes of content easy to find and manage. Metadata-rich content is sort-able and searchable.
Distribute more content
You probably find yourself having to choose among many titles to distribute due to a limited budget. VM Express allows you to ship all of the VM content your teams work hard to produce.
Get content to market faster
Web download of images allows you to release content as soon as it is completed. There is no longer months of wait time for media creation, duplication, and shipping in order to get important content to your users.
It’s green
A side benefit of VM Express is reduced waste and consumption. VM Express reduces pressure on the datacenter by reducing storage and bandwidth utilization. VM Express reduces the quantity of media required to distribute as well as the packaging and ancillary resources required for shipping. Moreover, because the primary content is required to deploy updates, VM Express keeps media and packaging out of the recycle bin.
