VMware has some new ideas for tackling an age-old problem for system administrators: how do you keep a computing service available when the server it's running on fails?
Microsoft said on Thursday that it is pulling features out of the initial version of its "Viridian" hypervisor to avoid having to delay the virtualisation technology.
The battle to control the virtualisation market has heated up with the launch of a white paper from VMware, which accuses Microsoft of anti-competitive practices.
VMware, an EMC subsidiary whose software lets multiple operating systems run on the same computer, is expected to announce next week it will begin giving away one of its key products for free.
Virtual infrastructure software vendor VMware today launched its Australian operations, appointing Ingram Micro as its distributor in the country.
Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines is in the process of moving its IT infrastructure from a fleet of traditional servers to virtual servers running on blade hardware.
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.

The company says its server software has now been tested for compatibility with products from firms such as EMC, Siemens, IBM and Hewlett-Packard.
SCVMM 2008 R2 is a very competent product, neatly bringing Microsoft's virtualisation management offering in line with the competition at the same time as offering management of disparate platforms in the one product. The integration with the rest of the Systems Center suite makes the overall management and monitoring experience better than its rivals.
AMD's 'Shanghai' processors are the company's first chips to exploit the improved performance and efficiency of 45nm technology. ZDNet's tests show that they have made up important ground on Intel's Xeons.
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.
