The management tool shows who owns a virtual machine, when it was requested, where it is running and when it's scheduled to be decommissioned

VMware has announced the release of a tool to give IT managers the ability to measure and charge back the use of virtual machines and automate and control the entire lifecycle of VMs. VMware Lifecycle Manager shows who owns a virtual machine, when it was requested, where it is running and when it's scheduled to be decommissioned, according to the company.

A chargeback feature allows IT to bill requesting departments for use of the virtual machines.

The Timing is Virtually Everything
operating systems in general keep time by counting the “ticks” from the processor (i’m sure that is a vast oversimplification of process). virtual machines unfortunately don’t have unfettered and unlimited access to the processor and as a result, their “tick count” and internal clock quickly becomes skewed. if a virtual machine needs to interact with other systems – like active directory – a wild
