VMware?s new Site Recovery Manager application is similar to an ERP application in the way it defines business processes and forces organizations to adopt a dynamic but process-driven recovery framework. ...<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/356881440" height="1" width="1"/> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:23:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=8312 http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~3/351782932/article.aspx VMware has just made VMware ESXi ?free?. Citrix makes a big deal out of the fact that its Xen hypervisor is ?free?. Microsoft?s Hyper-V is included in Windows Server 2008, so it is ?free?. However, none of these products is really free; you will pay for all of them in various ways....<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/351782932" height="1" width="1"/> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:35:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=8266 http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~3/339266912/article.aspx Detailed product review of vmSight, a performance and access management solution for virtualized desktops on the VMware, Citrix Xen and soon Microsoft Hyper-V platforms. ...<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/339266912" height="1" width="1"/> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:20:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=8201 http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~3/335305538/article.aspx My last week?s article detailed why I feel VMware is falling prey to Microsoft's age-old way to market dominance so this week I took the opposite approach and have tried to explain the four key areas VMware must address in order to win the war and/or at least not become the next Netscape / Novell....<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/335305538" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:08:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=8155 http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~3/330737693/article.aspx Today, VMware announced it has fired (my words, not theirs) one of their founders and the current CEO, Diane Greene. This came as a huge shock to me and most of us in the virtualization industry. In the following article I will explain why I think VMware?s Board let Diane go an why VMware's stock falling like a MythBusters project to determine the terminal velocity of a 21 billion dollar rock falling from the top of the Empire State Building, and why do I think this is mostly caused by Micro...<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/330737693" height="1" width="1"/> Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:59:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=8115 http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~3/330059478/article.aspx VMware faces enormous challenges and enormous opportunities.

I liked the comment so much I figured I would share it with all. ...<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/328711646" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 04:06:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=8105 http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~3/321548784/article.aspx Hyper-V does not mean the end of VMware.

B-hive is unique in several important respects, which will serve to both change the market for virtualization platforms and for APM vendors in the virtualization market. Given this, I thought that a detailed review of the B-hive product was in order....<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/314839759" height="1" width="1"/> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:51:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=7988 http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~3/310728546/article.aspx I hear a lot of engineers complaining about how long it takes Citrix to bring out another version of XenApp. There is a slew of negative news on how it took Microsoft more than five years to release Vista and now it looks like we won?t see Windows 7 until the end of 2010. Not to mention, you know it will ship with a lot less features than Microsoft shows off to all of us right now. It really boils my blood when I hear people say that Apple is just so quick to market with new revisions of OS ...<img src="http://feeds.dabcc.com/~r/Virtualization-Analysis/~4/310728546" height="1" width="1"/> Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:54:00 -0500 http://www.dabcc.com/article.aspx?id=7946
