Legacy UI
A familiar dashboard for teams that still know exactly where they want the inventory tree.
Can't teach old dogs new tricks
STRATUM's optional Legacy UI presents the platform through the inventory-and-dashboard interaction model that has defined enterprise virtualization administration for decades. It is deliberately familiar: a navigator on the left, selected-object details in the main workspace, tabs, task history and object-oriented controls for Datacenters, Virtual Machines, Storage, Networking and Operations.
Legacy UI is disabled by default. Enable it from STRATUM Administration and a Legacy UI button appears on the left navigation rail. The old-man-with-a-cane icon is deliberate. The name 'Legacy' refers to the familiar industry-style virtualization management model that has shaped infrastructure consoles for decades.
Same STRATUM, familiar operating surface
Legacy UI reads and operates the same STRATUM controller, workloads, Fabrics and runtime state used by Mission Planner and the other interfaces. Changing interfaces changes the presentation and workflow while the underlying datacenter model remains the same.
This is useful for teams transitioning from VMware-style administration, for operators who prefer object inventories over topology canvases, and for environments where a conventional dashboard is the fastest way to inspect a familiar class of resource.
Virtual machine dashboard
Select a virtual machine from the Navigator to open its workload dashboard. Running systems and stopped or unplaced systems are separated in the tree, so placement and lifecycle state are visible before the workload page is opened.
The VM workspace combines power operations, pause and resume, console access, editing, snapshots, workload movement and deletion with runtime state, execution worker, STRATUM virtual machine manager, image, vCPU and memory details. Recent Tasks remains visible beneath the workload so lifecycle actions can be correlated with their execution state.
Switches, ports and topology
The Networking tree exposes STRATUM virtual switches through an object-focused dashboard. Selecting a switch shows its configured port capacity, attached ports, MTU and runtime telemetry, while the Switch topology view maps workload interfaces to individual switch ports and network uplinks.
Selecting an individual port exposes the attached workload, peer interface, associated network, network type and operational state. This is especially useful for firewalls, routers and multi-interface appliances where exact port identity matters more than a simple node-to-node relationship.
Distributed infrastructure in dashboard form
The Continuum view brings distributed STRATUM infrastructure into the same dashboard-style interface. Operators can see Fabric nodes, network segments, virtual switches and the current Inter-Datacenter state, then move between Topology, Nodes & Segments, and Policy & Status views.
The topology maps virtual machines to STRATUM switches and connected networks. Selecting an object exposes controller or worker details such as role, connectivity state, Fabric IP and endpoint information. It provides a conventional object-and-dashboard vocabulary for the same distributed STRATUM Continuum represented elsewhere in the product.
Use the interface that fits the operation
NOC is the global estate view. Mission Planner is the visual topology and datacenter operations surface. STRATUM AI is the outcome-driven autonomous and assisted operator. TUI/CLI provides terminal and scripted control. Legacy UI provides the traditional virtualization inventory-and-dashboard workflow.
All of these interfaces converge on the same STRATUM platform. The choice is operational: global view, topology, AI mission, terminal, automation script or conventional dashboard.
