2015 was an exciting year for the Flings program in many ways. First, our developers updated 14 Flings after listening to user feedback. Second, we released 19 new Flings (with two more slated to be released before the end of the year). And third, we set the record for downloaded Flings with 125,001 downloads! We would like to thank the users for providing us with feedback. We know testing experimental tools can be time-consuming, but by sending feedback you enable Fling developers to improve their Flings by providing them with valuable information. Also note that developers use Fling metrics (download, comments, etc.) to show product managers that the Fling should be made into a product. Downloads were especially fast and furious in the fourth quarter (September to December). In the following chart, you’ll notice that some of the most popular Flings from last quarter are still in the top 10: Please note that the Thinapped vSphere Client Fling is deprecated; we encourage you to use this ESXi Embedded Host Client Fling instead. Please also note that new Flings are always posted to the Fling’s front page . When a Fling is updated with a new download, it returns to the front page.

Among EVO SDDC’s many capabilities are provisioning and lifecycle management.

Security is essential for every business, but it is critical for institutions of education and research like the University of New Mexico.
