Virtualization: Don't Ask, Don't Tell

,----[ Quote ]
| Virtualization has allowed the company to consolidate its data center by 
| replacing 300 physical servers with 20 servers hosting virtual machines, 
| Logan said. The effort saved $1.2 million in leasing costs over three years, 
| he added.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| For example, Gill said that about 28 percent of the respondents said they 
| expect that half of all new servers installed at their companies this year 
| will host virtual applications.

| And in a similar fashion to what Parallels and VMware Fusion did for the 
| Intel-based Mac community, this could give the Linux operating system a boost 
| from consumers who want to use the open source software but don't want to 
| lose out on what Microsoft's Windows platforms offer.

Dell to stuff hypervisors in flash memory

The Year of Virtualization

| I think that Windows will continue to succumb to Linux in the data

Virtualization: Linux's killer app

,----[ Quote ]
| Think about it. Even Microsoft supports running Linux on its Virtual
| Server product. Why would it do that? Wouldn't an OS partitioning
| technology, such as that used by OpenVz or Sun Solaris, be more in
| keeping with the kind of homogeneous environments that Microsoft
| would like to see? Why would Microsoft invest its resources to
| support a virtual machine technology that can only open the
| door to Linux in the datacenter?

Virtualisation gets trendy

,----[ Quote ]
| The fact that so many areas of IT are affected by virtualisation is 
| perhaps testament to how fundamental a concept it is to separate 
| computer resource from the underlying physical hardware and 
| demonstrates this is a strategic issue with a broad impact 
| that has to be considered at the highest levels of IT management.
