<p>New Article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:Management]]<br /> == Introduction ==<br /> [[File:Ps4vmware.jpg|250px|border|right|PS4]]With the introduction of HTML5-based clients for the [[VMware vSphere|ESXi]] host (and an equivalent vCenter client in the Fling stage) there&#039;s no longer the need to restrict your HomeLab management platform to a traditional computer with a flash-compatible browser installed. We have already had the suggestion of the [[Managing your Homelab via Xbox]] so I was curious if other consoles were up to the task.<br /> <br /> == Pros and Cons ==<br /> ===Pros===<br /> *You can manage your Virtual Environment on the big screen from the comfort of your armchair.<br /> *You have an excuse to move the PS4 to your man cave or where a large screen is available. Another excuse for a blu ray player(WAF)?!<br /> <br /> ===Cons===<br /> *Some functionality is currently limited- uploading files to datastores <br /> *Smaller members of the family or unknowing significant others may end up shutting down your lab<br /> <br /> <br /> == Costs ==<br /> The PS4 is available from all major retailers, please check for current local pricing.<br /> <br /> == Use Cases ==<br /> The platform is ideal for emergency reboots of local hosts and VMs or specifically VCSA if it has crashed. For example I may also check on my RDP or Citrix servers so I can access the lab via my iPad or work device.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Things to test ==<br /> *Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse access<br /> *Console Access<br /> *Wii U Access?</div>
