Hyper-V R2 Released: VMware’s Paul Maritz walks a thin line as Microsoft closes in!
By Tarry Singh at 31 August, 2009, 11:50 pm
Will he be able to pull off the trick. We VMware be able to make Microsoft’s Windows irrelevant? I seriously doubt that will happen in the next 10 years and seriously doubt if VMware will be the one to do it. Obviously they expect Google to upstage Microsoft and I’m sure with some minor exodus [...]
Read More >>Who has the bigger hypervisor footprint: VMware ESX/ESXi OR Hyper-V/Hyper-V Win 2008?
By Tarry Singh at 25 August, 2009, 9:53 am
Jeff Woolsey is going after VMware again, and this time its about the footprint of the hypervisor. The question or more notably the things to ask should be these: – How good-enough is Hyper-V vs VMware ESX – How cheaper is Hyper-V vs VMware ESX – How stable is Hyper-V vs VMware ESX – How [...]

Well it has loads of stuff that will make you wonder someday: “Why didn’t we invest in Virtual Box’s OVF strategy to deploy our Cloud desktop/instances?” Version 3.0 will be a major update. The following major new features were added: Guest SMP with up to 32 virtual CPUs (VT-x and AMD-V only) Windows guests: ability [...]

By Tarry Singh at 16 June, 2009, 12:55 pm
The whole point of the Workbench suite is to insulate application developers from the underlying differences in the embedded chips they pick for whatever gadget they are coming up with while at the same time taking advantage of whatever unique hardware is available for those architectures. That basically left Wind River with one choice when [...]

By Tarry Singh at 16 February, 2009, 11:11 am
Funny name and still, no matter what you tell me, I think the industry is focusing on the wrong side of business or to put it more correctly, the technological and performance driven innovation should fire up in the Cloud, not in the client device. Sure, the performance will increase but with such fast paced [...]

Great article by Gernot, Co-founder at Open Kernel Labs. Virtualization has been a major factor in the enterprise space for years; several virtualization providers have become billion-dollar companies. More recently, virtualization has started to become a hot topic in the embedded systems areas. This is demonstrated by recent moves of the dominant providers of virtualization [...]

By Tarry Singh at 21 January, 2009, 11:24 am
This just came in. Dell quickly made its point clear when it fully certified all Citrix/Intel delivered client boxes with bare-metal hypervisors. This may also come as no surprise since Dell too contributed to Microsoft’s giant Data Center build-ups. Intel is somehow more interested in building and collaborating on the vanilla hypervisor [with Xen] to [...]
Read More >>Citrix planning ‘bare-metal’ desktop hypervisor!
By Tarry Singh at 20 January, 2009, 12:46 am
Citrix Systems is working with Intel to deliver a “bare metal” hypervisor for client PCs, which proponents say could broaden the use of desktop virtualization by overcoming some of the technology’s shortcomings today. The hypervisor should improve on today’s desktop virtualization by providing better security, because it runs independently of the client OS, and better [...]
