Abstract: An example method to deploy a web client plugin in a virtualized computing environment may include obtaining information identifying a virtual machine at a management entity and generating configuration information that includes the information identifying the virtual machine. The method may further include registering, with the management entity, the configuration information to deploy the web client plugin as a web client extension. The registration is performed such that, in response to an access to the virtual machine via the web client plugin, the web client plugin is able to automatically identify the virtual machine based on the configuration information.

The exit area is capable of temporarily containing another of the carts. The monument has a door through which a person can enter or leave the monument, a further wall section movable between a closed and open position such that in the open position one of the carts can be pushed into the monument, and a slide element for guiding a cart into the and out of the monument past the wall section in the open position thereof.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system creates a first template VM that includes a first OS VMDK and a first software binary VMDK, and clones the first template VM to create a linked clone VM. The linked clone VM executes a guest OS by accessing the first OS VMDK and a software application by accessing the first software binary VMDK. The computer system further creates a second template VM that includes a second software binary VMDK, where the second software binary VMDK includes one or more upgrades to the software application that are not included in the first software binary VMDK. The computer system then detaches the first software binary VMDK from the linked clone VM and attaches the second software binary VMDK to the linked clone VM. The linked clone VM thereafter executes the software application by accessing the second software binary VMDK.

Abstract: An example method is provided to perform policy-based data placement in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise receiving a request to create a virtual disk for a virtual machine in the virtualized computing environment. The request may include a usage type associated with the virtual disk. The method may further comprise, based on a data placement policy associated with the usage type, determining a datastore on which to place the virtual disk and to store data of the usage type associated with the virtual disk.

Abstract: A lighting assembly that includes an outer housing defining an outer housing axis, an inner housing defining an inner housing axis and a light member positioned in the inner housing. The outer housing includes a front surface having a front opening and an inner surface that defines an adjustment cavity having a truncated spherical shape. The inner housing has a truncated spherical shape and is at least partially received within the adjustment cavity. The inner housing defines a light recess therein and includes a front cover having an aperture defined therein. The front cover at least partially defines the light recess. The light member defines a light axis. The light axis and the inner housing axis are not co-axial and not parallel and form an angle therebetween. The inner housing is adjustable between a home position and a plurality of adjustment positions.
