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.
Any new x86 server can run virtualisation software, but Dell plans to release a model that's geared specifically to those drawn to the newly mainstream computing trend, our sister site CNET News.com has learned.
A start-up called Movidis believes a 16-core chip originally designed for networking gear will be a ticket to success in the Linux server market.
Supercomputing specialist SGI has become Microsoft's latest partner, signing up to support a version of Windows that can farm out computing jobs to a cluster of lower-end servers.
For raw power Sun Microsystem's Sun Fire X4450 is the gutsiest server we've seen, and at 2RU it's compact considering its specs. However, priced at over AU$27,000, this machine will make a dent in your budget.
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.
