Linux specialist Red Hat has announced it is developing an embedded hypervisor product that it claims will complement, rather than compete with, its existing virtualisation strategy.
Microsoft officially launched Windows Server 2008, Windows Visual Studio 2008, and announced SQL Server 2008, which is due in the third quarter of this year.
The long wait is almost over for Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualisation software for Windows Server 2008 -- it has reached the feature-complete release-candidate stage placing it in limbo between beta-stage development and a final release.
Virtualisation will be the key to the popularity of Microsoft's long-awaited server operating system, Windows Server 2008, analysts have predicted.
Early adopters of Microsoft's new suite of enterprise products have given the vendor an initial thumbs-up.
VMware has made available a public beta of its desktop product that lets Windows operating systems run in a virtualised environment on Mac OS X.
Hypervisors are just the skirmish before the virtualisation war proper, according to vendors and analysts, with virtualisation management set to pull in the big bucks in years to come.
Server virtualisation is over-hyped and less used than reported, according to Microsoft executives speaking at the launch of Windows Server 2008.
Oracle president Charles Phillips played tour guide Monday, pointing out virtualisation and the company's application integration architecture (AIA) as two key areas to watch for this year as the software giant moves forward in building its "stack."
Virtualisation vendor VMware has announced the general availability of VMware Fusion, a software product that allows Apple users to run Windows-based applications on the Apple Mac platform.
When Apple released Parallels Desktop in June 2006, it showed most users for the first time what they could achieve with desktop virtualisation.
The software giant has announced the release of Windows Server 2008 Release Candidate 0.
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.
Microsoft on Monday in the United States updated its plans for new virtualisation software and said it will expand its lineup through an acquisition.
In recent years, tech enthusiasts have turned to Microsoft's spring hardware conference as a chance to get juicy tidbits on where the software maker was headed with the next version of Windows.
