In this webinar, learn how VMShutdownManager helps administrators and IT teams shut down virtual environments in a controlled, secure, and automated manner. The tool ensures an orderly shutdown of VMs and hosts—regardless of whether you use VMware, Hyper-V, or other platforms.
This ensures data integrity, system stability, and energy efficiency even in complex infrastructures. Our speakers will demonstrate in a practical way how you can optimally integrate VMShutdownManager into your environment, which typical use cases are particularly worthwhile, and which best practices have proven themselves.
We are also introducing an exciting new feature: the Proxmox module – an extension that adds support for Proxmox VE to VMShutdownManager, making it even more flexible to use.
