Part I of my new series of articles on securing Microsoft Virtual Server is now up at searchservervirtualization.com. In this first part I go through securing physical and local access to Microsoft Virtual Server. In the next installment I will go through securing remote access to Microsoft Virtual Server. File permissions, and certificates, and ssl, oh my! Happy Reading!

I recently gave a brief answer to this question on SearchSystemsChannel.com:

“I’m getting ready to recommend server virtualization to a client. Who are the most reliable players in the field and what do they bring to the table?”

Go to SearchSystemsChannel.com for the answer.

This is just a quick update on my latest article:

“Running Windows as a VM on Linux with VMWare Server”

When I posted this the article had received 798 diggs!

It has also been bookmarked on del.icio.us 427 times!

A few of the great comments from digg.com are summarized below:

“Wow! So is this like Coherence mode but for Linux? I was hoping something like this would come up…” -Kujila

“I think this is a very cool idea for cross-os-interoperability - while maintaining a consistent look&feel.” -cptchaos

“THIS SOLUTION on the other hand seems like the best of both worlds: windows-apps running in their native environment (windows inside vm) and projected (per terminal service) onto a Linux-GUI. VERY COOL.” -cptchaos

And from del.icio.us:

“Good description on running apps directly such as Excel so they appear to run locally.” -RobertJTownley

“For when I finally escape Windows evil clutches..” -DBayn1

“the hawtness” -iver2345

“very cool!, must try” -homerjsimpson

“sometimes linux needs a little windows lovin” -rxram

“This is a better tutorial than I thought. Using 2X Application Server for Windows Terminal Services is a great idea to finally polish off the integration.” -christilden

“Windows apps in Linux. Office 2007, here I come.” -Xinex

Thank you to all of those who read, blogged, bookmarked, and dugg my article! And, as always thank you to those who visit HarleyStagner.com.

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!
