The VMware vSphere Client for iPad is a companion interface to the traditional vSphere client that is optimized for managing your vSphere environment from your iPad. The iPad client allows you to monitor the performance of vSphere hosts and virtual machines. You can also start, stop and suspend virtual machines, reboot them or put them into maintenance mode.  In order to use the VMware vSphere Client you will need to deploy a virtual appliance called the vCMA server.

<strong>VMware vCenter Mobile Access</strong> (vCMA) is a fully configured and ready to run virtual appliance that enables vSphere administrators to manage their datacenter from mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets like the Apple iPad. Using either a mobile browser or the native iPad application, administrators can perform various troubleshooting and remediation activities in their VMware environments from anywhere in the world.
