A poor man's alternative to VM:Operator, probably for a smaller number
of systems and with lesser capabilities, would be the Programmable
Operator facility that comes with VM. I don't want to start an argument
here. I know that VM:Operator would do a great job but if you are only
talking about a few systems and don't want to spend any money (your time
is free, after all), take a look at PROP. I will admit that I've never
tried to use it for this purpose, but I have used PROP for 20 years or
so and it does the job.

In the not too distant future, we will possibly have VM systems
scattered almost as widely as we have datacenters. What products are
available that would allow the operations of these systems to be handled
from a single location, if such exist? For example, can VM:Operator be
used across a span of 2000 miles in the continental US? Between the US
and Japan? Are there other products that can do the job?
