The first version of VMware Server was managed using a native application and a very rudimentary browser based interface (useful only for viewing virtual machine status). If a VMware Server system was to be administered from a remote client, the management application had to be installed on that client. VMware Server 2.0 moves away from the native application approach, instead providing a fully featured, browser based administration console known as the VMware Infrastructure (VI) Web Access management interface which can be accessed from remote clients simply by using a web browser. In addition to avoiding the necessity to install the native application on client systems, it also provides administrative access to a wider range of clients, including mobile devices such as the iPhone or Blackberry.
