Next Generation Virtualization Server: VMware Server Quick look!



Installation



A couple of nexts and you see it's really our GSX server. But only a better and a powerful virtualization platform to get all those crazy ideas of yours running!







And after a couple of next clicks you're done!

Things that I spotted on this quick look!
  • It has dual CPU support, so if you have a hyperthreaded CPU laptop, your VM will also see dual CPU.
  • I had to get rid of my both ESX and GSX client programs and my VM WorkStation. :-|
  • It is in DEBUG mode, so be careful. I've reloaded my UBuntu in it and it gave me this warning.
  • This piece of software could go anywhere, in my opinion its gonna be a community product , the idea behind is to beat Xen to the punch in its *open source* game and beat MS in it *can't get any cheaper than free, ain't it?* game!


Attagirl, Greene. I like your style! :-)

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...
