The retrieval and setup of VMware’s client application, which enables users to connect to and manage virtual machines on a remote server, allows for direct interaction with the guest operating system. For example, a system administrator might acquire and install this component to troubleshoot a virtual server from a different location.
This functionality is crucial for centralized virtual infrastructure management and offers several advantages. It facilitates remote access, allowing administrators to oversee virtual machines from anywhere with a network connection. Historically, this technology has been instrumental in reducing the need for physical presence at the server location, contributing to increased efficiency and reduced operational costs.
