WHAT DOES MIRAGE DO?
It manages a layered system by allowing updates from the mirage server to peer-to-peer networks using minimum bandwith and easy upgrading of Windows OS
VMware has upgraded desktop management tool Mirage with bandwidth control features and also published APIs to allow sharing of the data it collects.
Mirage is a key part of VMware’s desktop push. Its role is to simplify management by letting administrators create and update centralized images for physical and virtual desktops. They can either be completely under the control of IT or part of a BYOD program.
Mirage has been designed with distributed environments in mind. However, managing desktops across many branches is still difficult, and bandwidth is usually a concern. To ease these worries, Mirage 5.1 lets IT administrators control the amount of bandwidth clients consume directly from its management console, VMware said in a blog post.
The bandwidth controls can be based on categories such as subnets or Active Directory sites.
As part of version 5.1, VMware has also started publishing APIs. Anyone can use them to integrate their own systems with Mirage and get access to the data it collects. The APIs available now are only the beginning of a push to make Mirage more useful, according to WMware.
VMware has enhanced the reporting functionality, as well. IT can create and run reports that are output in HTML or CSV files. It can also improve control by scheduling automatic generation of reports, VMware said.
The upgrade can be downloaded from VMware’s website. For enterprises that haven’t purchased Mirage, there is a free trial.
For users who want to learn more about the admin tool, VMware is organizing sessions about it at the VMworld conference in Barcelona next month. The sessions will cover best practises and successful deployments, for example

Dynamic Layering for Endpoint and Application Management
Manage PCs, or Horizon
persistent virtual desktops, as a set of logical layers owned by either
IT or the end-user. Update IT-managed layers while maintaining end-user
files and personalization. Easily deploy applications or
VMware® ThinApp® packages to any collection of end users with Mirage application layering technology.

Automated Backup and Full System Recovery
Store full desktop snapshots in
the data center with continual synchronization of IT or end-user
initiated changes. Recover partial or full desktops when needed with
centrally stored desktop images and periodic endpoint snapshots. Allow
self-service file recovery for end users and follow-me access to files
across devices for enhanced productivity.
Simplified Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Migrations
Accelerate the most common
approaches to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 migrations: upgrading an
existing Windows XP device to Windows 7, upgrading Windows 7 to Windows
8.1, or migrating an end user's profile and files to a new Windows 7 or
8.1 machine.
Designed for Distributed Environments
Mirage Branch Reflectors allow
IT to download any updates once from the Mirage server and allows
peer-to-peer updates from the Branch Reflectors to other Mirage clients
in the branch office. Manage devices at scale with minimal
infrastructure and controlled bandwidth.
Easy Extension of PC Lifecycle Management (PCLM) Tools
Complement existing PCLM tools
with dynamic layering, backup and recovery, and rollback options to
minimize helpdesk support. Extend existing PCLM tools by supporting mass
OS deployments with just a few clicks. Use API extensibility and
reporting framework to help manage devices more efficiently.
Bring Your Own Desktop (BYOD)
Install Mirage-managed images
natively onto Windows PCs, or onto Fusion® Pro virtual desktops on
Windows, Mac, or Linux desktops and laptops. Mirage allows end users
with BYO PCs to leverage local compute resources for online and offline
productivity.
