Software Update: Veeam Reporter 4.0.1

Good documentation is very important for setting up and managing a VMware vSphere 4 or a VMware Infrastructure 3 environment. Veeam is therefore developing the Veeam Reporter program, which can automatically generate an overview of a vSphere 4 or a VI3 environment in a Microsoft Visio diagram, Excel workbook, Word document or an Adobe PDF. In addition, you can create links with cmdb’s and all information can be consulted via a web interface. Previously, a paid edition with more features was also available under the name Veeam Reporter Enterprise, but since 4.0 it has been renamed to Veeam Reporter. The limited edition was thus renamed to Veeam Reporter Free Edition. Version 4.0.1 has been available for some time and features the following changes:
