![]() It is in fact an appliance, distributed as an OVF, which you can download from here. ![]() The vSphere HTML5 Web client is available as a VMware Labs fling. I’m referring to the ESXi embedded host client which in many ways, HTML5 being one, is similar to the subject matter of today’s topic. ![]() Incidentally, another great fling somewhat related to this one, was also released recently. Regardless, I highly recommend having a go with it, so here’s my take on how to set it up and first impressions. Now, before throwing parties and what not, just be aware that the HTML5 client is still a work in progress. In my mind, this is the route VMware will be ultimately pursuing. The sooner it goes away, the greater the uptake of vSphere Web client will be which will probably spell the demise of the traditional (C#) vSphere client. You should also be aware that Flash is a security nightmare in the making, more so when embedded within an infrastructure management tool. As you probably know, the vSphere Web client is Adobe Flash based. Hopefully it will be included with the next iteration of vSphere bringing to an end the current Adobe Flash based client together with the aches and pains that come with it. A couple of weeks ago, VMware released the first ever HTML5 based vSphere web client for vCenter Server.
