MatterV 0.7.0 Release

MatterV 0.7.0 Release

We’re thrilled to announce the release of MatterV 0.7.0, a major milestone for our VM management tool. This release introduces a breakthrough feature: VMware-Compatible Mode, which allows MatterV to emulate VMware environments seamlessly. Let’s dive into what this means for you.

What’s New in MatterV 0.7.0?

VMware-Compatible Mode

MatterV now supports VMware-Compatible Mode, enabling your guest VMs to behave just like VMware VMs. This means:

  • You can install VMware Tools inside your VMs.
  • Your VMs will recognize MatterV as a VMware hypervisor.

What Does This Mean for Customers?

  1. Transfer Your VMware Knowledge: If you’re familiar with VMware, you can now use that knowledge with MatterV. No need to learn new tools or processes.
  2. Protect Your Investment: Any custom scripts, configurations, or workflows you’ve built for VMware will continue to work seamlessly on MatterV.
  3. Pave the Way for Migration: This release sets the stage for our next major update, where you’ll be able to migrate VMware VMs to MatterV natively. Simply copy data from your vCenter to MatterV, and everything will work without manual modifications or guest VM credentials.

Why Choose MatterV for Migration?

  • Worry-Free Migration: If anything goes wrong during migration, your original VMware VMs remain intact and fully functional.
  • Seamless Process: Just a few clicks, and your VMs are ready to go on MatterV. No other company offers this level of simplicity and reliability.
