VMWare is expected to introduce a new product bundle this week that it hopes will extend its lead in the virtualisation software market.
Red Hat announced several moves on Tuesday to bring virtualisation technology to the mainstream Linux market by the end of the year, a move that the company promises will dramatically increase server efficiency.
XenSource, a start-up trying to commercialise software that lets several versions of Linux run on the same computer, has chosen a new chief executive and altered its business strategy.
Advanced Micro Devices has released full details of technology called Pacifica that will let computers run multiple operating systems more easily, an idea the computing industry is embracing enthusiastically.
Sun has released a major update to its open-source desktop virtualisation tool xVM VirtualBox, adding support for Apple's Mac OS X and Solaris host operating systems, in addition to other improvements.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
If you think two-thirds of your IT is mission-critical, you're either running an incredibly lean and efficient operation or you haven't got a clue how many applications you have and which ones you need to manage.
If there's fibre running to the node down my street by the end of 2009, I'll eat my own shoes with mustard sauce.
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.
When I wrote about Sydney-based social news start-up Streem earlier this week, the group was less than forthcoming about the real history behind its operations.
Server virtualisation is a no-brainer -- it's quick to deploy and easy to justify in terms of cost-savings but too many companies are deploying the technology without considering the security implications.
The increasing use of virtualisation has blurred the lines between physical and virtual worlds, creating a new issue for buyers and sellers of computer software: Software licensing as we know it is dying -- or already dead.
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.
Companies that offer virtualisation software are changing their business models and tweaking their software.
We look at the virtual machine software market's three principal players: Microsoft, VMware and Xen.
The grace of Leopard's interface enhancements makes productivity more pleasurable with a Mac, as more than 300 functional and fun features top off this update.
Ubuntu is very user-friendly but not right for everyone. Oddly, both casual and advanced users will find this operating system wonderful, while day-to-day users may rail against Ubuntu's incompatibility with certain popular software applications.
Although it won't be in stores until autumn 2007, Steve Jobs has given the world a preview of the next Apple operating system.
The decision for some small business users to upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista once it becomes available in early 2007 will depend largely on what the new operating system can do for you and what hardware you have to run it on.
Don't want to take Windows Vista for a test drive until you know what it has to offer? Join Windows expert Deb Shinder for a visual tour of Beta 2 as she points out some of the more dramatic changes and shares her impressions of the new OS.
