Microsoft is taking a stand on an emerging technology that threatens to reshape software pricing models.
Virtualisation is a method of running multiple independent virtual operating systems on one computer. Here is how to migrate a physical server to a virtual version.
We look at the virtual machine software market's three principal players: Microsoft, VMware and Xen.
VMware potentially changed the virtualisation software market by announcing that the upgrade to their GSX Server product would be made available for free to anyone that wants it.
ESX Server 3i is the easiest hypervisor to install and use. It's based on VMware's ESX Server code, making it among the most stable and mature virtualisation options available.
ThinApp, previously known as Thinstall, offers a more streamlined and portable approach to new software roll-outs and development. Software developers and administrators of large numbers of workstations and or mobile workers are bound to benefit greatly from this software.
Short of setting up duplicate systems, testing new software can be a hairy exercise. Here's another way: use virtual OSes like VMWare and Virtual PC as your testing platform.
Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.
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.
