I know, there is 3 times “free” in the title. When I first got this e-mail from Extrasphere telling me to watch this video I was a little bit skeptical. But I said OK, I’ll watch the video. I’ll see if they’ll ask me to give them my CC details … -:). Nothing of that has happened and I was nicely surprised to watch their video where they demonstrated their free utility called Extrasphere App. The tool does svmotion, vmotion (with small downtime) and storage nothing vmotion (with small downtime). All this without vCenter server! In fact, their tool works with ESXi Free version.
