Microsoft will support customers who choose to run Linux with Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005 R2, which allows multiple operating systems to be run on one machine.
XenSource has endowed its flagship virtualisation product with better Windows support, the company announced on Monday, but a new version due in June will bring greater changes.
Novell has released the first service pack (SP1) for its Suse Linux Enterprise 10 server software, which promises better virtualisation and high performance support along with improved security.
Novell has launched a thin-client version of Suse Linux that comes with a tool third parties can use to build tailored sytems.
Novell is readying two major product launches meant to make its open-source software more palatable to corporate customers.
Trying to take a more active role in open-source programming, Red Hat has created a team of 34 programmers to work on nothing but next-generation software.
It has competed hard with the likes of Microsoft and IBM, but over the years Novell has remained a smaller player than either of its two main rivals. CTO Jeff Jaffe tells what Novell has up its sleeve to bring the company up to speed: Fossa, an open source project named after the Madagascan relative of the Mongoose.
Will Windows Vista provide the boost Linux has been waiting for?
Microsoft's Hyper-V is the missing piece from the launch of Windows Server 2008. We examine its background, and predict how the hypervisor market is likely to develop.
Microsoft is taking a stand on an emerging technology that threatens to reshape software pricing models.
XenServer still has a fair way to go in order to catch up to the current functionality already offered in VMWare and Microsoft's virtualisation solutions -- but it's quickly improving and is a lot more affordable.
This is a powerful performance monitoring and reporting system for servers running VMware ESX Server. Web-based dashboards show the resources in use by servers and their VMs, while the reporting module delivers printable reports of historical data.
Production-quality XenSource virtualisation is the main selling point here, with optional clustering and storage virtualisation to go with it. But there's a lot more besides, making the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux a compelling solution for businesses of all sizes.
SUSE Linux 10 is a full Windows/Microsoft Office replacement on one DVD at a bargain price. Home users could do a lot worse, and even IT managers may learn to love it.
Early releases of the Xen hypervisor showed promise but had lots of rough edges. Citrix's XenServer 5, however, is very much a production-class virtualisation solution with features that match, and in some cases exceed, what's available on rival platforms.
