Well, I just finished up writing two new virtualization articles at SearchSystemsChannel.com for those who are interested. The first one is split into several parts and discusses the pros and cons of a server-centric architecture. This article eventually leads to a product called Moka5 that utilizes advantages of centralized management and distributed computing. The second article looks at some of the disadvantages of a traditional terminal environment like Citrix and suggests how Citrix resellers can take advantage of virtualization technology to supplement their offerings to clients who may not be willing to deploy a traditional terminal environment. Happy reading!

I came across a beta signup for VMWare for Mac OS X today. This is an excellent move by VMWare. Mac users were missing out on the benefits of a mature virtualization platform. I thought it would only be a matter of time before VMWare announced this product after Macs switched (pun intended) to an Intel platform. I have not tried Parallels Desktop for Mac yet, but the performance of Windows under Virtual PC for Mac is less than desirable. If the performance of VMWare for Mac is as good as its Windows and Linux counterparts then it will steal this market. VMWare has product maturity and a community of pre-configured virtual appliances behind it.
VMWare could provide the flexibility that Macs have desperately needed in order to compete in a corporate environment. It looks like beauty could meet productivity after all.

A press release from Microsoft on November 2nd, 2006 announces “a set of technical collaboration agreements” to provide better interoperability between Microsoft and Novell products. The press release states that the agreement has a broad scope and will concentrate on three technical areas of the market; Virtualization, Web Services for server infrastructure management (physical and virtual), and Document format compatibility. Microsoft and Novell will operate a joint research facility in order to architect and test new software solutions.
