Ubuntu can now access Parallels Workstation for Linux, which allows users to run Windows applications, via the operating system's built-in update tool.
SWsoft has released a smaller-scale, less expensive version of its Virtuozzo software in an effort to encourage new users of the virtualization product, the company plans to announce on Wednesday.
OpenVZ, virtualisation software that carves a single version of Linux into separate containers for different tasks, now is available for computers using Sun's UltraSparc T1 processor.
Red Hat and Novell, the two top Linux sellers, have only just begun building Xen virtualisation software into their products. But they're already planning to add a higher-level option.
Most talk about virtualisation these days centres on using server hardware more efficiently. But the technology also has the potential to ease another headache: software installation woes.
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.
SWsoft, whose Virtuozzo software lets several copies of Linux run simultaneously on the same Intel server, plans to expand its reach next year.
Despite taking a completely different approach to virtualisation, Virtuozzo Containers can match the best hypervisors on performance while at the same time making virtual workloads quick and easy to deploy and manage.
