ESX 3.0 Beta Test dates closing in!



16th Feb we can get started with the ESX 3.0 Beta Testing. I got a 3rd reminder email and I'm very curious to get my hands on ESX 3.0!

What I have not been able to fix is a couple of fast Boxes where I can do my Oracle RAC installation on RHEL 4.0 or Windows 2003 or Solaris 9/10 for that matter. I do have a multiple CPU box but the specs are a bit old. I will definitely be able to test and run this ESX 3.0 on it. No problems there at all , its just the performance testing that might be a problem.

Anyways anyone who has lots of resources (think new servers which are lying around, waiting for to be deployed) to spare (who doesn't?) can always give me a call. I could help you set it up and do some real good performance testing. :-)

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
