Force10 Networks VirtualView™: Taking the Mystery and Risk out of Virtualisation.

A hands-on evaluation of VMware vSphere 4 by press reviewers, technology analysts, and IT professionals who wish to compare vSphere to competing virtualisation products such as Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer.

An overview of the major enhancements introduced with VMware vNetwork, the collection of networking technologies for optimally integrating networking and I/O functionality into vSphere.

VMware vSphere 4, the industry's first cloud operating system, includes several unique new features that allows IT organisations to leverage the benefits of cloud computing, with maximum efficiency, uncompromised control, and flexibility of choice.

VMware has added many new storage management capabilities that increase disk utilisation rate, provide greater control of these storage resources and enable increased options for datastore protocol support and format of virtual disk format.

Data protection is critical for small and medium businesses. Conventional data protection infrastructures are still largely tape-based and are not always proving up to the new requirements for backup, recovery, and disaster recovery.

A new virtualization specification, the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) lays the foundation for a fundamental change in how enterprises deploy and manage software. This development has ramifications on how users recover applications, clone golden images, and ensure license compliance.

While it is true that server virtualisation is an essential building block of the infrastructure required for cloud computing initiatives, a considerable base of infrastructure and technology has to be in place in addition to server virtualisation to achieve the promise of cloud computing.
