• VSI for vSphere Client

  • Dell VSI (Virtual Storage Integrator) is a free plug-in  that extends the VMware vSphere Client, enabling VMware administrators to manage hosts, storage (e.g., datastores, RDMs) and copies (snapshots, thin clones) on Dell Storage From vSphere Client.  VSI reduces the operational complexity associated with using multiple tools and supports Dell PowerStore, PowerMax, PowerFlex, UnityXT, XtermIO, and RecoverPoint.
