VMware's forthcoming ESX Server 4.0 hypervisor update will allow users to change the amount of RAM allocated to virtual machines without rebooting them, VMworld 2008 attendees heard this week in the US.
Virtualisation vendor VMware has quietly begun sharing some of its software secrets with the IT security industry under an unannounced plan to create better ways of securing virtual machines.
The virtualisation specialists are fighting back. Companies like VMware, and more recently XenSource, got their start with standalone virtualisation software -- but Linux sellers and Microsoft, unwilling to cede their influential position selling the foundational software of a computer, are trying to make virtualisation a feature of the operating system.
Virtualisation start up Pano Logic, which founded by ex-CEO of XenSource, intends to offer a new solution to the desktop thin client market.
Auckland-based DB Breweries has spent NZ$1 million on datacentre equipment -- including servers and storage solutions -- from Hewlett-Packard to support its SAP rollout which began last September.
You've only got to hang around a datacentre for about 30 seconds before someone starts raving on about virtualisation. While the cost benefits of virtualisation are obvious, the management challenges often get swept under the carpet.
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.
Thin clients, make way for a new competitor: hosted, virtual servers and desktops are finally changing the way corporate Australia manages its IT infrastructure.
A new open-source virtual-machine project has quickly won Linux allies, but its arrival brings complications.
One of Australia's largest adopters of VMware's ESX Server -- Australia-based international law firm Mallesons Stephen Jaques -- recovered every last dollar spent on the system three months before the rollout was even complete.
We discusses your virtualisation options, focusing on host-based and bare-metal environments with either host-based or shared storage. Which configuration is best for your environment?
Microsoft's Hyper-V is a solid virtualisation platform that's compatible with a wide range of modern server hardware.
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.
This is a powerful system that enables server administrators to very quickly restore data that may have been lost due to viruses, user error or hardware failure.
Easy to use and efficient with time, esxMigrator is an excellent tool that will help busy server administrators upgrading from VMware's ESX 2.x to VI3 server virtualisation.
With one new product released, and one about to be, server virtualisation is becoming a reality in the low-end server space. How can virtual servers help you?
