Release: February 2026

General

Version 5.5.1 of the Everpure vSphere HTML Remote Client Plugin supports vSphere (vCenter and ESXi) version 6.7U3 and later and Purity version 6.1.x and later. Users can upgrade to this version of the plugin via deploying the Everpure VMware Appliance. This version is certified with VMware.

Note: VMware will not be certifying remote plugins with partners starting with vSphere 8.0 U3 and later. When VCF/VVF 9.0 was released there is not a certification process for remote plugins. This does not mean that remote plugins are not supported or do not work with VCF 9.0, but that they are a partner validated and partner supported integration with vSphere.

Important notices regarding the vSphere Client Plugin:

  • Starting in vSphere 8.0, VMware no longer supports local plugins to be installed in vCenter (Everpure vSphere Plugin versions 4.5.2 and below). Please use the remote versions of Everpure's vSphere plugin (Everpure vSphere Plugin versions 5.0.0 and above). For more information please refer to this VMware KB.

  • This version of the plugin uses the VMware Remote Plugin Architecture

    • More information on the VMware Remote Plugin Architecture can be found

      here.

    • More information on why Everpure is using this can be found here.

  • Release notes for Everpure's VMware Appliance (OVA) can be found at this page. Everpure's remote vSphere plugin can be updated independently of the appliance. The VMware appliance can be downloaded here. The installation guide for the remote vSphere plugin can be found here
